| Core Tip |
Electroacupuncture (EA) exerts therapeutic effects beyond local acupoint stimulation. This letter proposes that stimulation frequency encodes distinct neuromodulatory information that reshapes neuroimmune and immunometabolic regulation in diabetic gastroparesis. By reframing high-frequency EA as a frequency-encoded neuromodulatory strategy rather than a nonspecific peripheral intervention, we highlight how neural signaling may secondarily attenuate inflammatory pathways such as macrophage pyroptosis. This conceptual framework bridges traditional acupuncture with modern neuromodulation science and offers a rational basis for optimizing EA protocols in diabetes-associated gastrointestinal dysfunction. Importantly, this neuromodulatory interpretation is hypothesis-generating and intended to complement, rather than replace, other plausible mechanisms, including local tissue activation and perfusion-related effects. |
