2018, Brain Research BulletinCitation Excerpt :Electroacupuncture (EA) has been used in China and other oriental countries in the management of many diseases including chronic pain with few side effects (Rapson et al., 2003a). Our previous study and other results have showed that EA has been effective in treating neuropathic pain (Huang et al., 2004; Chen et al., 2016; Zeng et al., 2016), however, the underlying mechanisms for the analgesic effect of EA on neuropathic pain remain unclear. Emerging evidence indicated that spinal microglia was an important target of EA in its analgesic effects related to neuropathic pain (Xu et al., 2016).
