Endocannabinoid mechanism for orofacial antinociception induced by electroacupuncture in acupoint St36 in rats.

Image result for Pharmacol Rep.

“This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating whether electroacupuncture (EA) at acupoint St36 could produce antinociception through the activation of an endocannabinoid mechanism.

CONCLUSION:

This study demonstrated for the first time that the CB1 cannabinoid receptor participates in the antinociceptive effect induced by EA.”
