Abstract

Objective: Acupuncture has certain effects to improve myopia visual function, but its neural mechanism is unclear. In this study, we acupunctured at the right Taiyang acupoint of myopic patients to analyze the effects of acupuncture on visual function and electroencephalographic activity and to investigate the correlation between improvements in visual function and changes in the brain.

Methods: In this study, a total of 21 myopic patients were recruited. The contrast sensitivity (CS) of the subjects was examined before and after acupuncture, and electroencephalography (EEG) data of the entire acupuncture process were recorded.

Results: The study found that compared with before acupuncture, the CS of both eyes in myopic patients at each spatial frequency was increased after acupuncture; compared with the resting state, the contribution of microstate C was decreased during the post-acupuncture state, and the transition probability between microstate A and microstate C was reduced; in addition, the contribution of microstate C was negatively correlated with CS at both 12 and 18 cpd.

Conclusion: The contrast sensitivity of myopic patients was improved after acupuncture at the Taiyang acupoint (20 min), which may be related to microstate C.

针刺太阳穴对近视视功能及脑电图微态的影响。

目的:针刺对改善近视视功能有一定作用，但其神经机制尚不清楚。本研究通过针刺近视患者的右侧太阳穴，分析针刺对视功能和脑电图活动的影响，探讨视功能的改善与大脑变化的相关性。方法:本研究共招募21例近视患者。针刺前后检测受试者的对比敏感度(CS)，记录整个针刺过程的脑电图(EEG)数据。结果:研究发现，与针刺前相比，针刺后近视患者双眼各空间频率CS均升高;针刺后状态与静息状态相比，微状态C的贡献降低，微状态A与微状态C之间的过渡概率降低;此外，在12和18 cpd时，微态C的贡献与CS呈负相关。结论:针刺太阳穴20 min后，近视患者的对比敏感性有所提高，可能与微态C有关。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that synthesizes multiple facets of brain structure and function, to better understand how multiple diverse functions are integrated to produce complex behaviors. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts, this multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. Our goal is to publish research related to furthering the understanding of the integrative mechanisms underlying brain functioning across one or more interacting levels of neural organization. In most real life experiences, sensory inputs from several modalities converge and interact in a manner that influences perception and actions generating purposeful and social behaviors. The journal is therefore focused on the primary questions of how multiple sensory, cognitive and emotional processes merge to produce coordinated complex behavior. It is questions such as this that cannot be answered at a single level – an ion channel, a neuron or a synapse – that we wish to focus on. In Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience we welcome in vitro or in vivo investigations across the molecular, cellular, and systems and behavioral level. Research in any species and at any stage of development and aging that are focused at understanding integration mechanisms underlying emergent properties of the brain and behavior are welcome.
