Electro-acupuncture inhibits C-fiber-evoked WDR neuronal activity of the trigeminocervical complex: Neurophysiological hypothesis of a complementary therapy for acute migraine modeled rats
Abstract
Acupuncture has become a relevant complementary and alternative treatment for acute migraine; however, the neurophysiological mechanism (C-fibers) underlying this effect remains unclear. C-fibers play a crucial role for diffuse noxious inhibitory controls (DNIC) at wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons in the trigeminocervical complex (TCC) in migraine attacks, and we supposed that this may be the mechanism of acupuncture analgesia. This study aimed...
