ACUPUNCTURE & ELECTRO-THERAPEUTICS RESEARCH

Aims & ScopeThe aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and promotion of basic and clinical research in acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, and related fields. The journal was established in order to make acupuncture and electro-therapeutics a universally acceptable branch of medicine through multidisciplinary research based on scientific disciplines. The final goal is to provide a better understanding of both the beneficial and adverse effects of these treatments in order to supplement or improve existing methods of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in both Western and Oriental medicine.The journal will accept original basic or clinical research papers, worthwhile reviews on safe and effective therapeutic methods, applications, limitations, theories, or principles of acupuncture and electro-therapeutics, including electro-analgesia or any method of treatment through the application of various types of electric or electromagnetic field stimuli as well as electrical and nonelectrical diagnostic methods. The journal will also consider serious research on any related methods of treatment such as Shiastsu, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and standard and experiemental stages of Western medicine, with physiological and pharmacological studies. We accept clinical, experimental, and theoretical studies, particularly on the early diagnosis and safe and effective treatment of intractable medical problems, such as intractable pain, dystonia, Parkinson''s disease, Alzheimer''s disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. In general, submitted papers must be based either on the documentation of data through scientifically proven or accepted methods, or on the explanation of new theories in the field with critical evaluation of such ideas. For example, papers may present data such as the effects of acupuncture on the cardiovascular or nervous systems using blood chemistry, hemodynamics, enzymes, and other biochemical or pathophysiological, Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, nerve conduction velocity, threshold stimulation for pain, somatosensory evoked potentials or any other electro-physiological method that is scientifically acceptable. Papers not dealing directly with acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, or the related methods of diagnosis or treatment mentioned above will also be considered if they have important implications for either improving diagnostic methods or treatment, or elucidating the underlying principles or the history or medicolegal aspects of these fields.

目标和范围该杂志的目的是为交流思想和促进针灸、电疗和相关领域的基础和临床研究提供一个国际论坛。《针灸与电疗》杂志的创办是为了通过科学学科的多学科研究，使针灸与电疗成为医学的一个普遍接受的分支。最终目的是为了更好地了解这些治疗方法的利与弊，以补充或改进现有的东西方医学诊断、预后、治疗和预防疾病的方法。《华尔街日报》将接受原来的基础或临床研究论文,值得评论安全有效的治疗方法,应用,限制,理论,或针灸和electro-therapeutics原理,包括electro-analgesia或任何治疗方法通过应用各种类型的电动或电磁场刺激以及电气和nonelectrical诊断方法。该杂志还将考虑认真研究任何相关的治疗方法，如Shiastsu，艾灸，草药，标准和经验阶段的西医，与生理学和药理学研究。我们接受临床、实验和理论研究，特别是对顽固性疼痛、肌张力障碍、帕金森病、阿尔茨海默病、癌症和心血管疾病等顽固性疾病的早期诊断和安全有效的治疗。一般来说，提交的论文必须以通过科学证明或接受的方法记录数据为基础，或以解释该领域的新理论为基础，并对这些观点进行批判性评价。例如，论文可能会使用血液化学、血液动力学、酶以及其他生物化学或病理生理学、双数字o形环测试、神经传导速度、痛觉阈值刺激、体感诱发电位或任何其他科学上可接受的电生理方法来展示针灸对心血管或神经系统的影响等数据。如果这些论文对改进诊断方法或治疗方法，或阐明这些领域的基本原则、历史或法医学方面具有重要意义，则也将考虑不直接涉及针灸、电疗或上述相关诊断或治疗方法的论文。
