Supports opioid-mediated reflex modulation by magnetic acupoint stimulation in rats; hypothesis-generating with no implications for clinical practice.
Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation at specific acupoints modulates cardiovascular reflex responses in rats via spinal delta- and kappa-opioid receptors.
Hsiao et al. (2005) studied this question.
