Acupoints and time-course paradigm. Manual acupuncture was administered to the LI4, ST36 and LV3 acupoints on the right side, acquiring duplicate scans on each acupoint. The needle remained in place at R1, R2 and R3 (2, 3, 1 minute respectively) and rotated with even motion for 2 min at the rate of 60 times per minute during M1 and M2. The needle was left in place during the sensations interview before starting the second scan. The procedure on each acupoint lasted about 25 min. Tactile stimulation was delivered to the acupoint with a size 5.88 von Frey monofilament using a matched paradigm.
