title: [Acupuncture analgesia in experimental animals].
abstract: Main experimental works on acupuncture analgesia (A.A.) have been examinated and a technique to perform A.A. in rabbits has been described. Furthermore an anatomic study of acupuncture loci used has been given. It is suggested that several mechanisms are involved in A.A., not only limited to stimuli on the posterior horns, but extending to higher levels.
