Objectives: This study is aimed at evaluating gender differences in neural activity change response to the acupuncture on left Jianyu (LI 15) healthy volunteers. Methods: Forty volunteers (20 males and 20 females) received 20‐min LI 15 underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans before after acupuncture. Amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuations (ALFF) 0.01–0.08 Hz range were determined for both scans. Paired t ‐tests performed ALFF between two separately male female groups identify changes related Results: After acupuncture, showed significantly increased cerebellum right angular gyrus but decreased precentral gyrus, inferior occipital fusiform gyrus. However, females almost negligible. Conclusions: Brain noticeably different females. preliminary evidence that may be an important factor optimal clinically personalized therapy poststroke shoulder pain future.
