Investigating the Specificity of Acupuncture on Jianshi and Zhigou: Evidence from a Resting-State fMRI Study on Functional Connectivity

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Zhigou (SJ6) and Jianshi (PC5) are similar in surface position, anatomical level of needle insertion, innervation and acupuncture depth, but belong to different channels and zang-fu organs. To investigate the specificity of acupuncture on them, we analyzed functional connectivity network differences (right precuneus as seed region) before and after acupuncture by conducting functional Magnetic Resonance Image (fMRI) scans on 18 healthy volunteers on the left SJ6 and PC5 respectively.
