Abstract
We investigated the effects of pulsed magnetic field (pMF) stimulus on electroencephalogram alpha activity when applied for various durations at the PC9 and/or HT9 acupoints. The maximum increase in alpha activity occurred after the stimulus was applied to the acupoints for 3 min. It can be concluded that pMF stimulus can be used in an alternative noninvasive acupuncture therapy, in which correct pMF stimulus induces a relaxed mental state.
