研究目的
Investigating the effectiveness of a novel laser acupuncture model that emulates lift-thrust operation on the Neiguan acupoint (PC6) and its impact on peripheral circulation through thermal imaging.
研究成果
Laser acupuncture with lift-thrust operation significantly increases fingertip temperature more effectively than without lift-thrust operation, suggesting its potential for future development in laser acupuncture. Stimulation on a sham point did not show significant temperature changes, indicating the physiological response is specific to acupoint stimulation.
研究不足
The study was limited to healthy adults and did not explore the effects of different frequencies used in laser acupuncture. The sample size was relatively small, and the study did not investigate long-term effects.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a self-developed emulated laser acupuncture system (ELAS) with a lift-thrust function to stimulate the Neiguan acupoint (PC6) and a sham point. Thermal imaging was used to measure temperature changes in subjects' fingertips.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
60 healthy adults were divided into three groups: with lift-thrust operation, without lift-thrust operation, and acupuncture on a sham point.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Emulated laser acupuncture system (ELAS), thermal imager (E60, FLIR? Systems, Inc.), and software (FLIR Tools?).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Subjects were stimulated for 5 minutes, and thermal images were taken before and after stimulation to measure temperature changes.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Nonparametric statistical analyses (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mann–Whitney U test) and regression analysis were used to evaluate temperature differences.
