• W2005202433 abstract "I read carefully the outstanding article “Mechanisms of Acupuncture-Electroacupuncture on Persistent Pain” by Zhang et al.,1 published in this journal in February. It is very detailed and shows several mechanisms of action of acupuncture and electroacupuncture: peripheral, spinal, supraspinal, and central and also their relations with bioactive chemicals involved in attenuation or control of pain, such as opioids, serotonin, norepinephrine, amino acids, cytokines among others. The article is really a lesson in acupuncture.However, being an acupuncturist doctor for the past 27 yr and very curious about the real difference between manual acupuncture and electroacupuncture, I feel obliged to disagree with the author’s statement in page 489: “On the basis of that evidence, we hypothesize that electroacupuncture is superior to manual acupuncture...” although I understand that they do minimize the statement by complementing “… but further investigation is warranted to confirm this premise.”Most of the articles the author cited to confirm this statement do not really compare real manual acupuncture with real electroacupunture to hypothesize this fact. Only Schliessbach et al.2 compared both procedures in 45 healthy volunteers to assess Pressure Pain Detection Thresholds. These authors state that electroacupuncture produces a higher Pressure Pain Detection Thresholds elevation than does manual acupuncture during needle application, but by the time of needle withdrawal, the two stimulation modalities no longer differ significantly.In Berman et al.3 and Vas et al.,4 the authors compare electroacupunture versus nonpenetrating needles connected with a mock transelectrical stimulation. Sangdee et al.5 compare real electroacupuncture versus patch electrodes connected to dummy mode of stimulation (and not real manual acupuncture). Also, Mavrommatis et al.6 compared real electroacupuncture plus drug versus retractable needles and simulated electrostimulation plus drug versus drug alone.When Zhang et al.1 cite Scharf et al.7 as an example where manual acupuncture could not differ to sham, I must remember that “minimal acupuncture” and “non-classical points” are no longer examples of inert therapies, as observed by others.8,9So, regarding the importance of the article by Zhang et al.,1 there is no answer, at the moment, for the question: “is electroacupuncture better than manual acupuncture”? There is a tendency, among modern acupuncturists, to consider this a truism, but there is no scientific evidence to back up this statement. More research is necessary, specially designed to respond that question.The author declares no competing interests." @default.
