Core Tip	Visceral hypersensitivity is enhanced in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rats. Electroacupuncture at Shangjuxu can significantly reduce the visceral hypersensitivity to colorectal distension in IBS rats, with a reduced pain threshold being observed. The expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) protein and mRNA in the target organ and central nervous system of these rats is abnormal to varying degrees, and electroacupuncture at Shangjuxu can regulate the expression of CRH protein and mRNA in the target organ (colon) and central nervous system (spinal cord and hypothalamus) at different levels, exerting a therapeutic effect on the visceral hypersensitivity of IBS rats.
