fMRI with simultaneous EAS and eliminating placebo effects could reflect the true brain effects of EAS
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES
It has been speculated that altered function of brain networks might show special modulatory effects of EAS, which might offer a possible explanation for EAS‐related effects in central nervous system diseases. Although previous studies have indicated that EAS specifically regulates the cerebral functional network, the exact differences between verum and sham EAS are not clearly understood. First, in recent years, more than half of the research teams have chosen the multiple block design method to perform fMRI related to acupuncture (Petersen & Dubis,
