[The effect of pharmacopuncture on the blood biochemical indices of patients with tunnel syndromes of the hands]. / Vliianie farmakopunktury na biokhimicheskie pokazateli krovi bol'nykh s tunnel'nymi sindromami ruk.

Concentrations of serotonin, beta-endorphine, myoglobin, basic myelin protein were measured in blood of patients with tunnel hand syndromes treated by actovegin or physiological solution pharmacopuncture and acupuncture to the same acupuncture points (AP). The above biochemical indices showed similar changes in pharmacopuncture with actovegin and the solution. These changes were different in acupuncture. This indicates specificity of AP stimulation by introduction of fluid, but not specificity of drug effects.
