目標(biāo)和范圍該雜志的目的是為交流思想和促進(jìn)針灸、電療和相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的基礎(chǔ)和臨床研究提供一個(gè)國(guó)際論壇。《針灸與電療》雜志的創(chuàng)辦是為了通過(guò)科學(xué)學(xué)科的多學(xué)科研究，使針灸與電療成為醫(yī)學(xué)的一個(gè)普遍接受的分支。最終目的是為了更好地了解這些治療方法的利與弊，以補(bǔ)充或改進(jìn)現(xiàn)有的東西方醫(yī)學(xué)診斷、預(yù)后、治療和預(yù)防疾病的方法。《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》將接受原來(lái)的基礎(chǔ)或臨床研究論文,值得評(píng)論安全有效的治療方法,應(yīng)用,限制,理論,或針灸和electro-therapeutics原理,包括electro-analgesia或任何治療方法通過(guò)應(yīng)用各種類型的電動(dòng)或電磁場(chǎng)刺激以及電氣和nonelectrical診斷方法。該雜志還將考慮認(rèn)真研究任何相關(guān)的治療方法，如Shiastsu，艾灸，草藥，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)階段的西醫(yī)，與生理學(xué)和藥理學(xué)研究。我們接受臨床、實(shí)驗(yàn)和理論研究，特別是對(duì)頑固性疼痛、肌張力障礙、帕金森病、阿爾茨海默病、癌癥和心血管疾病等頑固性疾病的早期診斷和安全有效的治療。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，提交的論文必須以通過(guò)科學(xué)證明或接受的方法記錄數(shù)據(jù)為基礎(chǔ)，或以解釋該領(lǐng)域的新理論為基礎(chǔ)，并對(duì)這些觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行批判性評(píng)價(jià)。例如，論文可能會(huì)使用血液化學(xué)、血液動(dòng)力學(xué)、酶以及其他生物化學(xué)或病理生理學(xué)、雙數(shù)字o形環(huán)測(cè)試、神經(jīng)傳導(dǎo)速度、痛覺(jué)閾值刺激、體感誘發(fā)電位或任何其他科學(xué)上可接受的電生理方法來(lái)展示針灸對(duì)心血管或神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的影響等數(shù)據(jù)。如果這些論文對(duì)改進(jìn)診斷方法或治療方法，或闡明這些領(lǐng)域的基本原則、歷史或法醫(yī)學(xué)方面具有重要意義，則也將考慮不直接涉及針灸、電療或上述相關(guān)診斷或治療方法的論文。

Aims & ScopeThe aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and promotion of basic and clinical research in acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, and related fields. The journal was established in order to make acupuncture and electro-therapeutics a universally acceptable branch of medicine through multidisciplinary research based on scientific disciplines. The final goal is to provide a better understanding of both the beneficial and adverse effects of these treatments in order to supplement or improve existing methods of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in both Western and Oriental medicine.The journal will accept original basic or clinical research papers, worthwhile reviews on safe and effective therapeutic methods, applications, limitations, theories, or principles of acupuncture and electro-therapeutics, including electro-analgesia or any method of treatment through the application of various types of electric or electromagnetic field stimuli as well as electrical and nonelectrical diagnostic methods. The journal will also consider serious research on any related methods of treatment such as Shiastsu, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and standard and experiemental stages of Western medicine, with physiological and pharmacological studies. We accept clinical, experimental, and theoretical studies, particularly on the early diagnosis and safe and effective treatment of intractable medical problems, such as intractable pain, dystonia, Parkinson''s disease, Alzheimer''s disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. In general, submitted papers must be based either on the documentation of data through scientifically proven or accepted methods, or on the explanation of new theories in the field with critical evaluation of such ideas. For example, papers may present data such as the effects of acupuncture on the cardiovascular or nervous systems using blood chemistry, hemodynamics, enzymes, and other biochemical or pathophysiological, Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, nerve conduction velocity, threshold stimulation for pain, somatosensory evoked potentials or any other electro-physiological method that is scientifically acceptable. Papers not dealing directly with acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, or the related methods of diagnosis or treatment mentioned above will also be considered if they have important implications for either improving diagnostic methods or treatment, or elucidating the underlying principles or the history or medicolegal aspects of these fields.
