Abstract

|
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of needle retention(NR) and electro-acopuncture of low(EA(L)) and high(EA(H)) frequencies at Haegye(ST41) on intestinal hypermotility induced with carbachol in rats
Methods : We made over-activated state of intestinal motility with carbachol in rats and caried out needle retention acupuncture, low frequency electro-acopuncture and high frequency electro-acopuncture at Haegye(ST41) or sham point in rat devided into pre-treatment group and post-treatment group. And we resulted as followings from measuring charcoal travel rate with observation of intestinal motility.
Results : 1. None of acupuncture, low frequency electro-acopuncture and high frequency electro-acopuncture at ST41 had significant influences on intestinal motility of rat in normal state. 2. Pre-treated with acupuncture, low frequency electro-acopuncture and high frequency electro-acopunc- ture and post-treated with acupuncture and low frequency electro-acopuncture at ST41 didn’t significantly influences intestinal motility in rat which over-activated with carbachol. 3. Post-treated with high frequency electro-acopuncture at ST41 suppressed intestinal motility in rat which over-activated with carbachol.
Conclusions : These results suggest that treatment high frequency electro-acopuncture at ST41 may be effective on gastric disorders such as intestinal hypermotility and its effect had more cure than prevention.
