“…It is supported by the Harvard studies cited earlier that used fMRI to measure the effects of acupuncture on the areas of the brain associated with fear (Hui et al, 2005;Napadow et al, 2007;Fang et al, 2009). These studies uniformly report acupuncture to produce rapid regulation of these brain regions, as do EFT fMRI studies (Stapleton et al, 2017;Wittfoth et al, 2020Wittfoth et al, , 2022. When the established protocols drawn from exposure and cognitive therapies are paired with acupressure, their effects are enhanced.…”

“…Mean fear scores dropped (p < 0.001) and the percentage of participants meeting clinical criteria dropped from 89.7 to 24%. Differential regulation in several brain regions, including the amygdala, hippocampus, and temporal pole, was found (Wittfoth et al, 2022). In a French study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to study the brain activity of a subject with fear of flying, investigators found that EFT downregulated regions implicated in the fear response (Di Rienzo et al, 2018).…”

“…Some recent clinical trials highlighted the use of PBN for the treatment of dermatologic and psychiatric issues. [21][22][23][24][25][26] At the same time, other clinical results showed that PBN could also alleviate the upper limb poststroke spasticity due to its potential effect of activating the regional blood circulation and restoring regional neurological impairment with the mild stimulation, which could possibly prevent from provoking the increase of spasticity. 27,28 Moxibustion has been utilized for more than 2000 years in China as a form of preventive medicine, as well as for disease treatment.…”

“…In functional studies, the left amygdala and insula, as well as the left dorsolateral PFC, left ACC, and fusiform gyrus, have shown greater brain activity in individuals with phobia, suggesting a double processing of phobic stimuli: a rapid emotional processing pathway through the limbic areas and a slow pathway involving an interaction of the limbic (emotional) and frontal (rational) areas [ 11 ]. Hence, imbalanced limbic-prefrontal processing is associated with a failure to regulate emotions, which may, in turn, contribute to maintaining fear [ 13 ]. Studies on transcranial magnetic stimulation have shown that fear lessens when the dorsolateral PFC is stimulated [ 14 ].…”
