Abstract:	Background/Aims: Acupuncture has been used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms in oriental countries for many years. The underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. Methodology: Fifteen healthy male volunteers were enrolled into this study. A cutaneous electrogastrography recording was obtained. Two frequencies (2Hz and 100Hz) of electrical stimulation were applied to Zusnali or Shousanli point in different sessions. Another non-acu-point (2cm lateral to Zusanh) without electrical stimulation was used for a control study. Results: There was a significant increase in the percentage of normal frequency during 2Hz of electrical stimulation on Zusnali (baseline vs. acupuncture, 82.49 +/- 2.87% vs. 93.18 +/- 8.40%, p<0.01). The percentage of normal frequency did not change significantly, during or after acupuncture, with 100Hz of electrical stimulation on Zusnali, or 2Hz and 100Hz of electrical stimulation on Shousanli. In addition, the percentage of tachygastric frequency and power ratio also changed significantly during 2Hz of electrical stimulation on Zusnali. However, the change in the percentage of bradygastria. and dominant frequency was not statistically significant among all five study sessions during each stage. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated that electrical stimulation, with a frequency of 2Hz, on Zusanli might enhance the regularity of gastric myoelectrical activity. The effect of acupuncture on gastric myoelectrical activity was acu-point-specific, and that effect was observed with 2Hz but not 100Hz electrical stimulation.
