• Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and Placebo (Sham) Acupuncture Are Differentiated by Their Effects on μ-Opioid Receptors (MORs) (2009, background): “These regions have been identified in other studies as showing differential response to acupuncture and sham treatment (Napadow et al., 2005; Hui et al., 2000).”
• Neural mechanism underlying acupuncture analgesia. (2008, background): “…increased by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) (Fang et al., 2004; Hsieh et al., 2001; Hui et al., 2000; Kong et al., 2002; Wu et al., 1999, 2002; Yan et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2003a,b, 2004), which greatly deepen our insight into the…”
• Acupuncture: Theory, Efficacy, and Practice (2002, background): “Other studies show that specific acupuncture points, but not controls, activate structures of descending antinociceptive pathways and deactivate multiple limbic areas that participate in pain processing (87, 88).”
• The integrated response of the human cerebro-cerebellar and limbic systems to acupuncture stimulation at ST 36 as evidenced by fMRI (2005, methodology): “Whereas we observed signal decreases in these regions with acupuncture deqi at both LI 4 (Hui et al., 2000) and at ST 36 in this study, others have reported signal increases, using fMRI for acupuncture at ST 36 (Wu et al., 1999), and using PET for acupuncture at LI 4 (Hsieh et al., 2001).”
