AB  - Previous studies have shown that there are many common structures between the 
      neural network of pain and memory, and the main structure in the pain network is 
      also part of the memory network. Chronic pain is characterized by recurrent 
      attacks and is associated with persistent ectopic impulse, which causes changes 
      in synaptic structure and function based on nerve activity. These changes may 
      induce long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission, and ultimately lead to 
      changes in the central nervous system to produce "pain memory". Acupuncture is an 
      effective method in treating chronic pain. It has been proven that acupuncture 
      can affect the spinal cord dorsal horn, hippocampus, cingulate gyrus and other 
      related areas. The possible mechanisms of action include opioid-induced 
      analgesia, activation of glial cells, and the expression of brain derived 
      neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In this study, we systematically review the brain 
      structures, stage of "pain memory" and the mechanisms of acupuncture on synaptic 
      plasticity in chronic pain.
