Abstract:
In our previous paper, we reported that the rate of responses to the electric stimulation through an acupuncture applied to the source point “TAISHO” increased in anamnestic and, in particular, status pathogenic sites. In the present paper, we conducted a similar investigation using the source poiht “GOUKOKU” to study relations between anamnestic or status sites, Meridians, and algesic thresholds. It was found:
(1) Among subjects with anamnestic and status pathogenic sites, those subjects with a nasal disorder, such as rhinitis and empyema, showed a significantly higher rate or responses in the nasal area.
(2) There was no right-left lateral difference in the response rate. The exception is when stimulation was applied on facial sites, a higher response rate was observed on the contralateral side, thus suggesting a route pattern similar to the Meridian-stream pattern recorded in classical documents.
(3) Although there were individual variations, an increase in the algesic threshold was generally observed in all body areas, and not in a specific area; therefore, no relationship was found between the Meridian and the phenomenon of propagated sensation.
