The most dominant cerebral areas affected by SP3 acupuncture were bilateral visual-related cortices (lingual gyrus, cuneus, and calcarine), along with the unilateral postcentral gyrus and superior parietal lobule. These findings may be potential explanations for the available clinical reports concerning the efficacy of SP3 acupuncture. Further clinical and experimental studies on SP3 acupuncture are required.
