[Effect of electroacupuncture on signs of emotional stress caused by pain].
The experiments on male white rats have shown that electroacupuncture of the point analog Da-Djuy abolished the consequences of pain-induced acute emotional stress. The stress-protective action of electroacupuncture was comparable with the effect of diazepam in a dose of 2.5 mg/kg and resulted in a significant reduction of the number of gastric erosions and in emotional reactivity, as well as in the increased aggressiveness as compared with the control group exposed to stress. The data obtained are discussed from the standpoint of electroacupuncture and diazepam action on the antinociceptive mechanisms of the brain.
