unclear. Increased desoxygenation by stimulus-induced neuronal activation, i.e. caused by changes in membrane potentials or release of neurotransmitters could be possibilities [14]. For whatever reason, acupuncture obviously influences the oxygen metabolism of the brain in healthy test persons. Similar to this study using ear acupuncture, a paradox contra-directional change in blood flow velocity (increase) and regional cerebral O 2-saturation (decrease) occurred in a vascular based case of dementia, when an individually adapted acupuncture scheme was used [14]. The described case report showed that acupuncture could improve the clinical status of vascular dementia. Using NIRS and transcranial Doppler sonography, we were able to register the effects on cerebral blood flow velocity and the O 2-metabolism. In combination with clinical findings, an inverse decrease in regional cerebral O 2-saturation during simultaneous increase in cerebral blood flow velocity during acupuncture could be interpreted, as a sign of increased cerebral oxygenation. A decrease in regional cerebral O 2-saturation does not necessarily indicate a poor condition of the O 2-metabolism in the sense of reduced oxygen supply, however could also document the beneficial effects of regionally increased oxygenation, activated by acupuncture [14]. In a similar manner, the minor contradirectional regional changes in NIRS parameters using ear acupuncture could be interpreted, since the monitoring method conveys the balance between oxygenation and desoxygenation. Further studies are necessary to investigate the importance of these phenomena on acupuncture, since not only the influence in general and in detail of laser acupuncture, but also the influence of combined ear and body acupuncture, are still discussed controversially. Spectroscopic methods probably are useful tools for this investigations. Acknowledgements The authors thank Dr. med.
