1. Акупунктура и акупрессура широко применяются врачами, специализирующимися на психологической травме. Эффективность этих методов в лечении клинического ПТСР сейчас начинает систематически изучаться. M. Hollifeld, et al., “Acupuncture for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial”, Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
195, no. 6 (2007): 504–13. В исследования, где фМРТ применяется для измерения воздействия акупунктуры на участки мозга, связанные со страхом, было продемонстрировано, что акупунктура способствует быстрой регуляции этих участков мозга.
