Abstract
Objective: Acupuncture is used to treat gastrointestinal discomfort and improve gastric movement, but how acupuncture stimulates human gastric movement has not been studied. We examined the influence of electroacupuncture on post prandial gastric movement in healthy subjects by ultrasonographically observing the gastric antrum. We measured electrogastrography (EGG) simultaneously with ultrasonography, and studied the relationship between EGG and actual gastric contraction. Method: Antropyloric movement was recorded in a control group of 7 healthy subjects and in an electroacupuncture group of 7 healthy subjects.
