Does acupuncture at the sympathetic point of the right ear alter acceleration photoplethysmogram indices in healthy subjects?
Auricular acupuncture at the sympathetic point acutely alters acceleration photoplethysmogram indices, suggesting an effect on cardiovascular autonomic tone.
Results: Acupuncture at the sympathetic point of the right ear produced a significant increase in the APG-b/a index and a significant decrease in the APG-d/a index in both cases during the period of acupuncture stimulation.
