Brief Summary:
Sphenopalatine ganglion SPG-acupuncture has been shown to exhibit distinct effects in treatment of nasal inflammatory disease but the mechanisms remain largely unknown Investigators aimed to assess the effects of SPG acupuncture for nasal ventilation function and autonomic nervous system in health volunteers The randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial enrolled healthy volunteersHealthy subjects were randomly assigned to either active SPG-acupuncture group or sham-acupuncture group All subjects were assessed for self-reported nasal ventilation nasal patency nasal airway resistance NAR and nasal cavity volume NVC exhaled nasal nitric oxide nNO before and after acupuncture Meanwhile in order to explore underlying mechanisms of SPG acupuncture the changes in neuropeptides substance P SP vasoactive intestinal peptide VIP and neuropeptide Y NPY in nasal secretions were investigated at baseline 30 minutes 2 hours and 24 hours after acupuncture
