Springer-Tsinghua Press, 2010; Xia Y. et al.: Current Research in Acupuncture. Springer, 2012; Xia Y.: Neural Functions of the Delta-opioid Receptor. Springer 2015) have presented compre- hensive information on acupuncture mechanisms and provided future perspectives in acupuncture research. Thisnewbookfeaturesatranslationalviewofacupunctureresearch.Writtenby many scientists and clinicians from China, USA, Canada, and other countries, this monograph discusses translational research on acupuncture.Besides general topics onacupuncturepractice(e.g.,differentstylesandtechniquesofacupuncture),topics include some refractory diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, cardiovascular dysfunction, chronic pain, post-concussion syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, and cancer-related symptoms. The factors influenc- ing acupuncture research are comprehensively addressed in the final chapter. This unique book provides a translational perspective on modern acupuncture for not onlyacupuncturists,butalsoneuroscientists,neurologists,andotherclinicians.For medicalstudentsandundergraduateandgraduatestudentsmajoringinbiology,this book is an advanced course for learning the progress in alternative and comple- mentary medicine. I hope that this book will help promote acupuncture research in both basic and clinical sides and further improve our understanding of acupuncture mechanisms and increase acupuncture efficacy. v vi Preface I am very grateful to all authors for their significant contributions and consid- erable efforts that made this book happen. I would also like to thank Ms. Simina Calin of Springer for her support and help for making this book to actuality from my proposal.
