Role of Hypothalamus in Acupuncture’s Effects by Ryan Bae, Hyung Kyu Kim, Baoji Lu, Jing Ma, Juping Xing, Hee Young Kim

“…Among the brain regions, the hypothalamus, a small yet critical region in the brain, plays a pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating a wide array of physiological processes, including stress responses, energy balance, and pain modulation. Emerging evidence suggests that acupuncture may exert its therapeutic effects by modulating the activity of the hypothalamus and its associated neural circuits, particularly in relation to pain, stress, and metabolic regulation. …”

A between-subjects investigation of whether distraction is the main mechanism behind music-induced analgesia by Nazlı Bronz Arıcan, Efe Soyman

“…In this study, to assess whether music-induced analgesia primarily operates through cognitive modulation, we used the cold pressor task and objectively compared the pain tolerances of participants in a four-group between-subjects design: a music group that listened to a music piece in the absence of any tasks, a music-and-attention-to-music group that listened to the same piece while also rating the arousal levels in the music, a music-and-attention-to-pain group that rated their pain levels while listening to the same piece, and a silence group as control. …”
