Electroacupuncture(EA)therapy has an important therapeutic effect on a variety of acute and chronic diseases,and has been widely used in the prevention and treatment of a variety of clinical diseases.The effect of EA therapy is closely related to the stimulation parameters,which directly affect the efficacy of acupuncture,and the stimulation parameters of EA have been paid more and more attention by more and more medical practitioners.The current research mainly focuses on the relationship between the efficacy of EA and the stimulation parameters,and explores the safe and efficient stimulation parameters.At present,the study of EA stimulation parameters is still in its infancy,with many shortcomings,and the standardisation and quantification of EA stimulation parameters need to be further explored.The article summarises and concludes the relevant studies on EA stimulation parameters from the perspectives of EA intervention timing,waveform,frequency,intensity,stimulation time,etc.,with a view to providing references for the better application of EA therapy in the clinic.
