Abstract

Objective: To investigate the relationship of electroencephalographic activities and transcutaneous magnetic stimulation at acupoints. Method: Three healthy male volunteers participated in this study. 64-channel electroencephalogram was recorded and its power spectrum was analyzed during sham magnetic stimulation and during real magnetic stimulation. Result: Slow-wave components increase and fast-wave components decrease during magnetic stimulation at SHENMEN point. This result is consistent with the effect of acupuncture at SHENMEN point. Conclusion: The spectrum of EEG suggests magnetic stimulation at acupoint has some effect on brain activities. For the magnetic stimulation and acupuncture have the same effect on brain activities, the action mechanism of magnetic stimulation at acupoints might be similar to that of acupuncture.
