The magnitude of hypothalamic activation in response to verum acupuncture for CTS patients at baseline was found to correlate negatively with their digit 2/digit 3 somatotopic separation in contralateral SI. The worse a patient’s central maladaptive neuroplasticity, the more they responded to acupuncture with hypothalamic activation.
