The effect of electroacupuncture on serum growth hormone levels was investigated in 5 normal subjects and in 10 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Serum growth hormone did not change in the normal subjects but there was an approximate 5-fold increase in the chronic pain subjects. This effect was partially inhibited by prior administration of the opiate antagonist naloxone, suggesting that the rise in growth hormone was mediated via release of central nervous system opioids.
在5名正常受试者和10名慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛患者中研究了电针疗法对血清生长激素水平的影响。正常受试者的血清生长激素水平未发生变化，但慢性疼痛患者的血清生长激素水平增加了约5倍。预先给予阿片拮抗剂纳洛酮可部分抑制这种效应，这表明生长激素水平的升高是通过中枢神经系统阿片类物质的释放介导的。
