Abstract

Laser acupuncture as an alternative, noninvasive, painless and cost-effective therapy is widely used for acute and chronic pain, nausea, circulatory functions, and mood-related behavioral disorders. It was suggested one of the pathways mediated laser acupuncture was from laser biomodulation on acupuncture point cells to autonomic nervous subsystems through meridian. As laser irradiation used for acupuncture is red or infra red, we put forward the following model: at dose 1(10^0-3J/m²), the irradiation activates parasympathetic nervous subsystem (PSN); at dose 2(10^3-5J/m²), the irradiation activates sympathetic nervous subsystem (SN); at dose 3(10^5-6 J/m²), the irradiation activates PSN; and at dose 4(10^6-7 J/m²), the irradiation activates SN. This model was verified by its successful applications.
