Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to use brain imaging technology to examine the way acupuncture affects brain function
Detailed Description:
Acupuncture is emerging as an important procedure in complementary medicine Its mechanism of action remains unclear but research suggests that its effects are mediated through a widely connected network that is involved in the regulation of mood behavior and function of physiological systems This study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI to monitor the effects of manual acupuncture on the brain function of study participants
Participants in this study will undergo acupuncture one needle at a time Researchers will then ask participants questions about how they feel and will compare the sensations reported by participants to their images of brain response
