The results of researching on the laboratory for Biochemistry, physic-biology: Acupunctural analgesia (a/a) helps increase the pain-threshold through the increasing dosage of β -endorphinernia (before a/a; 35.58 ± 10.50pg/ml; after a/a:46.25 ± 11.42pg/ml p<0.001), acetylcholinema (before a/a:l.841 ± 0.459 μ mol/L;after a/a:4.glo ± 2.053μ mol/L p<0.001), carccholaminemia (before a/a:0.085 ± 0.017moll; after a/a: 0.181 ± 0.25mol/L p<0.001), Acupunctural analgesia is shown the electrical activity of the brain that the increase of the percentage of the α -waves and β -waves and decrease the low θ -waves this is the quite useful to the process of controlling the painful preventive of the human body.
