The arrows indicate the beginning of stimula tion. European Marco Polo Comp., Albi, France; hand: 0.1 x 8 mm, Sooji-Chim, Korea). Stimulation was performed with simultaneous rotating, pulling and thrusting movements of medium intensity. In the case of lasemeedle acupuncture, the skin at the acupuncture point was cleaned with alcohol, the lasemeedle was positioned at the surface of the skin and then fixated with special adhesive tape. We used the same acupuncture schemes as in the combined measurements using needle acupuncture. During the experimental phase, the test persons were positioned in a relaxed manner on a lounge. After applying the near-infrared spectroscopic sensors in the frontal area of the skull, a 10 minute resting period was observed. Then, either lasemeedle stimulation was activated or the acupuncture needles were inserted and stimulated for 10 seconds. Thereafter, the laser was activated for 10 minutes or the needles were left alone. The maximum amplitude of ~O2Hb and ~HHb (phase during acupuncture) was analyzed during this period of time. Randornized selection of which technique should be started with, as well as selection of sequence of the particular type of stimu.!~tion (body, ear, hand, combination) was done. The resting period between each investigation was at least 30 minutes. 2.4. Statistical analysis Data was analyzed with the computer program SigmaStat (Jandel Scientific Corp., Erkrath, Germany). Results from the phases before (= zeropoint calibration), during and 5 minutes after needle acllpllnctllrc or of laserneedle acupuncture are shown in the diagrams as mean values, respectively. 3. Results At the left side of Fig. 3, the hypothetical functional curve of stimulus intensity dependent upon thc treatment time is shown.

During manual, metal needle stimulation a nearly exponential maximum increase in 02Hb and a exponential decrease to a higher level than initially, occurred, whereas the trend of 02Hb during lasemeedle NIRS r8sponse remains plateau-like. Figures 4 and 5 show the mean values of maximum ch{{nge in 02Hb (Fig. 4) and HHb (Fig. 5) parameters during and 5 minutes after manual needle acupuncture or lasemeedle acupuncture. It is obvious that needling and stimulation of the placebo point does not lead to marked changes in cerebral NIRS parameters during and 5 minutes after acupuncture. Manual needling and lasemeedle stimulation leads to a marked increase in 02Hb (compare Fig. 4) and simultaneous decrease in HHb (compare Fig. 5) when using the combined Korean hand acupuncture (E2) and Chinese hand acupuncture (Yan Dian), as well as TCM-body (Zhanzu and Yuyao) acupuncture, as well as combined body, ear, and hand acupuncture. This effect is still present 5 minutes after removing the needles or deactivating lasemeedle stimulation. An almost negligible, but contrary behavior of 02Hb and HHb occurs when both ear points (eye and liver) are needled or stimulated with laser. None of the acupuncture stimuiation methods or combinations resulted in significant changes in stan- dard monitoring parameters (blood pressure). 339
