Preface
Acupuncture has been broadly used in many clinical settings worldwide. Although the precise mechanism underlying the therapy is not well understood yet, it is generally accepted that acupuncture, by either manual or electrical stimulation, can trigger nerve signals in the acupoints that get transmitted from the peripheral to the central nervous system and elicit a therapeutic effect through neural and humoral regulation. In recent years, our serial books (Xia Y. et al.: Acupuncture Therapy for Neurological Diseases—A Neurobiological View. Springer-Tsinghua Press, 2010; Xia Y. et al.: Current Research in Acupuncture. Springer, 2012; Xia Y.: Neural Functions of the Delta-opioid Receptor. Springer 2015) have presented comprehensive information on acupuncture mechanisms and provided future perspectives in acupuncture research. This new book features a translational view of acupuncture research. Written by many scientists and clinicians from China, USA, Canada, and other countries, this monograph discusses translational research on acupuncture. Besides general topics on acupuncture practice (e.g., different style
