The role of hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVH) in acupuncture analgesia was investigated by local brain stimulation and cauterization. The results showed that electrical or L-glutamate sodium stimulation of PVH could enhance the effect of analgesia of Zusanli acupuncture, both in a dose dependent manner. Electrical cauterization of PVH decreased the effect of acupuncture analgesia, while removal of pituitary had no effect on the enhancing effect by L-glutamate sodium injection.
通过局部脑刺激和烧灼术研究了下丘脑室旁核（PVH）在针刺镇痛中的作用。结果表明，对PVH进行电刺激或注射L-谷氨酸钠均可增强足三里穴针刺的镇痛效果，且均呈剂量依赖性。对PVH进行电烧灼会降低针刺镇痛效果，而切除垂体对注射L-谷氨酸钠的增强作用无影响。
