[Modulatory capability of the somatosensory afferents through acupuncture reflexotherapy].

Abstract

This paper concerns the influence of the acupuncture on the somatic afferent volley. As the main used points in experimental acupuncture, we stimulated 4GI and 7H. The results confirm the modulatory influence of the acupuncture on the somesthetic afference and, also, its different mode of action related with the nature of the point stimulated.
