Electro‐acupuncture at <scp>ST</scp>37 and <scp>ST</scp>25 induce different effects on colonic motility via the enteric nervous system by affecting excitatory and inhibitory neurons

Abstract

Electro-acupuncture at specific acupoints can improve intestinal motility in constipation by altering the ENS and differentially affecting excitatory and inhibitory neurons, restoring the coordination between contraction and relaxation muscles, and working in concert with the central nervous system and peripheral neural pathways.
