First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study looks at how a gentle electrical current applied to specific acupoints (like those used in acupuncture) affects the way the brain handles pain signals. Researchers will measure brain activity in 35 healthy adults before and after the stimulation. The goal is to understand the mechanism, not to treat pain directly.
