Abstract
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common gastrointestinal disorder. Its pathogenesis is unknown yet and there is no specific therapy in Western medicine. Because of its low cost, good efficacy and fewer toxic/side effects, acupuncture has become a main therapy for FD. Although there are some studies regarding its action mechanism, there are fewer studies on action mechanism differences between acupuncture and moxibustion...Stimulating Zusanli (ST 36) can improve clinical symptoms of FD and alleviate the patients' anxiety and depression. To investigate the differences in central action mechanisms between acupuncture and moxibustion, this study collected the fMRI data during the resting state, working state and after the resting state, conducted ALFF analysis using DPARSF software, and compared the functional brain response differences by applying needling and moxibustion to Zusanli (ST 36)(the most common point for FD).
