Abstract
We have established a good correlation between electrical pulse amplitude set by the patient at computerized electroacupuncture stimulation and pain intensity determined according to visual pain scale. Our results show that the value of the pulse amplitude can be used as an objective index of pain intensity before or in the process of pain syndrome treatment.
