Abstract:
Objective To observe the body surface calorific value characteristics of Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel,triple energizer,and zang-fu organs chronic insomnia patients with heart-spleen deficiency syndrome through infrared thermal imaging technology.Methods Totally 150 patients with chronic insomnia with heart-spleen deficiency syndrome who were treated in the outpatient department of Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine(Longgang)from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the observation group.Another 50 healthy subjects were recruited as the normal control group.Infrared thermal imaging technology was used to collect and measure the temperature of surface areas of Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel,triple energizer,and zang-fu organs,and the calorific values were analyzed and compared.Results Compared with healthy subjects,chronic insomnia patients with heart-spleen deficiency syndrome had a statistically significant decrease in the temperature of the Governor Vessel(P<0.05);there were statistically significant decreased in the temperature of upper energizer and middle energizer(P<0.05);there were statistically significant decreased in the temperature of chest,apex,right chest,epigastric region,big abdomen,and the temperature of left and right flank increased(P<0.05).Conclusion There were significant differences in infrared thermography distribution characteristics of Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel,triple energizer,and zang-fu organs between patients with chronic insomnia with heart-spleen deficiency syndrome and healthy subjects,which can provide some reference for the clinical diagnosis and syndrome differentiation of chronic insomnia with heart-spleen deficiency syndrome.
