The genesis of acupoint development lies in the notion of'comforting sensation upon pressure'.Following manipulation,the vivid depiction of'comforting sensation'is inevitably rooted in the outcome of'acupoint sensitivity-central sensitization'.This article focuses on interventions involving sensitive needling and sensitive massage as primary observations of acupoint sensitivity.It provides a review from both neuroimaging and neurobiology,the two prevailing techniques in contemporary neuroscience,aiming to elucidate the objective scientific framework underlying the induction of'the comforting sensation upon pressure'and the ensuing'acupoint sensitivity-central sensitization'cerebral effects.
