针刺对腰痛症患者皮肤血流量的影响

EFFFCT OF ACUPUNCTURE ON SKIN BLOOD FLOW IN PATIENT WITH LOW BACK PAIN

摘要:

为了进一步明确会刺对痛症患者刺针局部及远隔部位的血流量的影响，本文以腰痛症患者为对象，用无损伤的计测方法（激光多普勒血流计、红外线热像仪）对针刺前后的皮肤血流量进行了直接与间接的观察。结果发现，针刺后，远离针刺部位的皮肤血流量的变化，没有一定的倾向；皮肤血流量的增加及皮肤温度的升高只是在行针之后刺针局部得到了确认。这种由针刺引起的局部限性皮肤血流量增加的机理，主要考虑为痛纤维轴索反射的作用。

Abstract:

In order to clarify the effect of acupuncture on the skin blood flow at the sites of needle insertion and regions distant from the points of needle insertion, we examined blood flow at skin regions before and after acupuncture treatment in patients suffering from low back pain. Measurements of blood flow at the skin were made by non-invasive technique (laser doppler blood-flow-meter and thermography). The results indicated that there was no definite pattern in changes of blood flow after the treatment at the rigions far from the points of needle insertion. An increase in blood flow was found at the sites of needle insertion after manipulating the needle. In light of thes type of limited increase in the skin bind flow induced by needle insertion, the role of nociceptive fiber axon reflex is consideved.
