| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the effect of electro-heated stone needle on the blood perfusion of dorsum of hand and to investigate the mechanism of the therapy. [Methods] Stimulation the third and 4th interosseous space of metacarpus of right hand by the 45℃ stone needle was performed and then the change of blood perfusion in the area of dorsum of hand and periumbilicus was observed with laser Doppler blood perfusion imaging system. [Results] After stimulation,the blood perfusion of right hand increased markedly (compared with pre-stimulation,P<0.01),and the attenuation of the increased blood perfusion was not noted within 30 minutes after stimulation. On the other hand,there was not significant change of the blood perfusion in periumbilicus area within 30 minutes after stimulation. [Conclusion] Electro-heated stone needle therapy can increase skin local blood perfusion of dorsum of hand without any effect on the periumbilicus area. |
