Meridians

A number of attempts have been made to validate the concept or existence of meridian lines.

A researcher injected radioactive technetium into acupuncture points, to prove their existence. It was found however that the technetium uptake was faster from certain acupuncture points than non-acupuncture points, but that its movement thereafter was explained entirely by the venous system.

There are some meridians that follow the route of known nervous pathways while others follow the route of the lymphatic system, or circulatory system. Still others follow none of these pathways and are difficult to explain in terms of currently understood neuro-anatomy.

Some interesting observations have been noted in correlating trigger point pain referral patterns and known meridian pathways.
