摘要：The individual difference and non-repeatability in acupuncture have not only restricted the devel-opment of acupuncture, but have also affected the specificity of acupoints. The present study used instruments to control needle depth, lifting and thrusting frequency, and the duration of acupuncture. Effects of the quantified acupuncture were observed at Neiguan (PC6) with different stimulation parameters. A frequency of 1, 2, or 3 Hz and duration of 5, 60, or 180 seconds were used to observe cerebral blood flow and ratio of infarct volume recovery. Results showed that stimulation at Neiguan with a frequency of 1 Hz and long duration of 180 seconds or 2/3 Hz and long duration of 5/60 se-conds significantly increased cerebral blood flow and decreased the ratio of infarct volume. Interac-tions between frequency and duration play a critical role in quantified acupuncture therapy.
