Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects on nociceptive neuron excitability by application of electroacupuncture in rat with inflammation. It used 20 rats for experiment, divided them into control group, electroacupuncture group (EA group), caused hyperalgesia by injecting ${\lambda}$-carrageenan into hindpaw and conducted treatment three times for experimental period. Change of NFR(reaction time, RMS) showed no significant differences among EA group showed significant differences compared to control group from 48 hours. This study showed that EA group had an effect on nociceptive neurone excitability. Therefore, it is considered that electroacupuncture for pain control will be very desirable.
