针刺镇痛效能的实验研究，与暗示效应分离，描述，其中判断电击引起的疼痛前臂被记录在两个单独的尺度：强度和厌恶。实验[人类]受试者通过位于穴位上的表面电极接受电针刺激，并给出明确的致敏建议，与对照受试者的数据进行比较，对照受试者在不正确的位点上接受这种刺激，并给出明确的镇痛建议。在实验期间的任何时候，针刺刺激或暗示对疼痛强度的感知都没有改变，但对正确穴位的刺激产生了明显的止痛性减轻，这种减轻是受刺激手臂特有的，克服了致敏的反暗示，并在刺激停止后持续存在。对照受试者没有记录到明显的减少。这些发现是根据其他针灸实验研究和证明有效的镇痛药的作用模式来解释的。
An experimental investigation of acupuncture''s analgesic potency, separated from suggestion effects, was described, in which judgments of shock-elicited pain of the forearm were recorded along 2 separate scales: intensity and aversiveness. Data from experimental [human] subjects, who received electrical acupunctural stimulation through surface electrodes located over acupuncture points and were given explicit counter-suggestions of sensitization, were compared to those obtained from control subjects, who received such stimulation over incorrect loci and were given explicit suggestions of analgesia. No alterations in the perception of pain intensity, either by acupunctural stimulation or suggestion, could be detected at any time during the experiment, but stimulation of the correct points produced a significant analgesic reduction in aversiveness which was specific to the arm so stimulated, overcame the counter-suggestion of sensitization and persisted after stimulation was discontinued. No significant reductions were recorded from control subjects. These findings are interpreted in light of other experimental acupuncture research and of the demonstrated mode of action of analgesics of proven efficacy.
