Trial protocol for a resting-state fMRI on central response of bloodletting acupuncture therapy at hand twelve jing-well points(HTWP)in healthy volunteers
Objective:To explore the central response characteristics of blood-letting acupuncture therapy at hand twelve jing-well points(HTWP).Methods:This study will be designed as a self-control study including 30 healthy volunteers.After completing the 30-minute baseline resting-state fMRI data acquisition in the supine position,all subjects will receive bloodletting acupuncture at HTWP within 5 minutes.Subsequent to the procedure,fMRI scan will be conducted,using the same parameters as the baseline.Expected results:Compared with the baseline data,after bloodletting acupuncture therapy at HTWP,the brain function at resting-state will change significantly,especially in the wakening-related brain areas of the brainstem ascending reticular activating system.
