Study on the neuroimmune regulatory mechanism of electroacupuncture at Zusanli acupoint for postoperative intestinal paralysis after gastrointestinal surgery
Electroacupuncture at the Zusanli acupoint can enhance clinical efficacy, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and regulate the neuroimmune microenvironment in patients with intestinal paralysis after gastrointestinal surgery. This mechanism may involve excitation of the vagus nerve and activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway through electroacupuncture stimulation of the Zusanli acupoint.
