Abstract:
One of the authors, Hayazaki, based on results of observation of the relationship between the electrical conductivity measurements of the 12 Ryodoraku diagnosis points and the simultaneous measurement of the electrical conductivity of the 6 point areas of pulse diagnosis in a large number of patients wondered if there wasn't some sort of relationship between the two. Mr. Nakatani has already reported concerning the electrical conductivity of the 6 pulse points at the monthly meeting at Kyoto University and also from a different point of view Mr. Fujita conducted an inquiry into this matter, however, neither one touches on the correlation between the electrical conductivity of the 6 pulse points and the electrical conductivity of the 12 Ryodoraku diagnosis points. We examined the correlation of the electrical conductivity of the representative measuring points of the 12 Ryodoraku lines and the 6 pulse points and also the correlation between the right and left pulse points using 40 patients who came to this clinic (100 examples for the right and left pulse points) as subjects. A self recording neurometer was used, to make the measurements. The correlation of both was examined at a total of 30 points on both sides of the body.
The results showed that concerning the relationship between the individual 6 pulse points and the 12 Ryodoraku points that in general a relatively high correlation was indicated in most cases. Listing the cases in which the correlation coefficient was 0.7 or greater we have: right 1st pulse position to H3, right 2nd pulse position to H1, H2, H6, F2, and F5, right 3rd pulse position to H6 and F2, left 2nd pulse position to H5, H6, and F4. Left 3rd position to H5. Concerning the correlation between the right and left pulse points, in general the correlation was greater than that with the 12 Ryodoraku points and was especially strong between points in the same positions, moreover, it was observed that there was a tendency for the value of the coeffecient to decrease in the following order, 1st position, 2nd position, 3rd position.
