RatTBIFluid percussionSprague-DawleyMalen = n = 6 per group for each measurement parameterPercutaneous electroacupuncture at acupuncture points Baihui (GV20), Shuigou (GV26), Hegu (LI4) and Yongquan (KI1)Dense-dispersed wave at 0.2 and 1 Hz, amplitude 1 mA, 60 mi…Immediately after TBI

Model: Lateral fluid percussion traumatic brain injury through a 2 mm radius craniectomy over the right parietal cortex, 2.0 to 2.2 atm, 25 ms percussion

Electroacupuncture given for 60 min daily for 3 days from immediately after fluid percussion TBI improved maximal grip angle, reduced infarction volume and lowered neuronal apoptosis and glial TNF-alpha expression at 72 h.

Extraction: extract · Subtype source: rule · Supplied extraction confidence: 0.9. Machine-extracted fields require source verification.
