Objectives: The primary purpose of this study was to examine the effect of manual acupuncture at the LI4, ST36 and LR3 on normal human EEG (Electroencephalogram). And the secondary purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships between the change of EEG wave form using correlation analysis.
Methods: 32 channel EEG measurement was carried out in 25 healthy participants (23 males and 2 females). EEG was measured for 21 minutes including 15 minutes of retention time. In this study, power spectrum was used as a measure of complexity. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman correlation.
Results: The results were as follows; 1. In C4, O1, Fz, Pz, Cz, FCz, CP4, FC4, TP7, FT7 among 32 electrodes, δ, θ and β wave increased during 0-3 time intervals, and especially in case of TP7, FT7 wave spontaneously decreased during 12~15 time intervals in manipulation group. 2. Between θ and β wave and θ and δ wave, there was statistically significant positive correlation in C4, O1, Fz, Pz, Cz, FCz, CP4, FC4, TP7, FT7 according to Spearman correlation analysis. 3. Between α and β wave, there was statistically significant positive correlation in TP7, FT7 according to Spearman correlation analysis.
Conclusions: These results suggest that TP7 and FT7 could be typical electrodes representing change of EEG after manipulated acupuncture at the LI4, ST36 and LR3. The relationships between the change of EEG wave form appear to have statistically significant positive correlation between θ and β wave, θ and δ wave and α and β wave.
