Experimental study on the low-intensity millimeter-wave electro-magnetic stimulation of acupuncture points

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the millimeter-wave bioresonance therapy on acute inflammation and stressful conditions in exp erimental models. Licking reaction in mice as a component of the hypersensi tive state evoked by subcutaneous formalin (0.03 ml of 1% solution) injecti on into the right hind paw was monitored. Different parameters of electro-m agnetic stimulation (frequencies 43 GHz and 61 GHz, intensities from 0.1 to 7 mW/cm(2), the exposure time for 3 min, or 10 min.) applied to ipsilatera l acupoint St.36 were studied. It was found that the millimeter-wave biores onance therapy improved the condition of expertimental animals, accompanyin g by diminution of licking reaction which was registered for every 10 min, during 2 hours after the formalin test start. Effect of 10 min. irradiation was more demonstrative than 3 min. (frequency 61 GHz, intensity 0.1 mW/cm( 2)). Stimulation with frequency of 61 GHz suppressed licking reaction more deeply than 43 GHz under equal intensities. Most beneficial effects have be en observed when minimal (0.1 mW/cm(2)) intensity of electromagnetic stimul ation was used.
