根据针刺手法“补则针下热

泻则针下凉”临床效应

近代学者认为

这种“热”

“凉”效应与局部血管舒缩运动有密切关系。研究者们曾先后采用皮温、血管容积脉搏波、微循环技术、红外线成像等有关指标In order to prove the specific property between the tonifying manipulation (TM) and reducing manipulation (RM)

and search further for the key in improving the effect of manipulation

the influence of to on two different manipulations

the plethysmogram in the same body-condition (kidney-deficiency) One was TM with slow-trusting and quick lefting; the other was RM with the converse movement. Randomized block design

cross-over design and single-blind design were used. The result showed that the TM increased the amplitule of the plethysmogram obviously

wheras the RM had no significant influence on it. There was significant difference not only between the TM group and the contral group

but also between the TM group and RM group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The difference between the RM group and the contral group was not significant (P>0.05). Meanwhile

it was recommanded that "mind concentration" on acupuncture manipulation is important. In conclusion

the experiment demonstrated the experimental evidence for explanning the machanism of TM and RM. It was suggested that acupun cture manipulanions are worthy to pay attention so as to improve clinical effect.
