Objective To probe into the mechanism on acupuncture treatment for brain injury. Methods Thirty cases of acute craniocerebral injury were divided into two groups according to the sequence of visiting. In the control （15 cases）, the routine western medicine was applied. In the experimental group （15 cases）, on the basis of routine western medicine, acupuncture was applied on Neiguan （ 内关 PC 6） and Zusanli （足三时 ST 36）. Before the treatment and on the 1^st and 5^th days after the treatment, the contents of aspartic acid （Asp）, glutamic acid （Glu） and 7-amino butyric acid （GABA） were observed successively and the relevant analysis was done. Results There was no significant difference in the concentrations of Asp, Glu and GABA before and on the 1^st day after the treatment between two groups （P〉0.05）. The difference had not been presented between the concentrations on the 1^st day and before the treatment. But, the difference was significant or very significant between the concentrations on the 5^th days and before the treatment （P〈0.05, P 〈 0.01 ）. In the experimental group, the concentration of Asp in the cerebrospinal fluid was lower obviously compared with that in the control （P〈0.05） and the concentration of GABA was higher compared with the control （P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion Acupuncture lowered the contents of Asp and Glu and increased the level of GABA in the cerebrospinal fluid rapidly so that the excitation and inhibition in the nervous system could be rebalanced. It was further indicated that acupuncture worked on the treatment of craniocerebral injury.

The difference had not been presented between the concentrations on the 1 st day and before the treatment.

It was further indicated that acupuncture worked on the treatment of craniocerebral injury.
