Abstract:
In China, for years they have been studying the PSC to investigate scientifically the substance of traditional meridians. As we had been to there, we learned how to investigate it. According to their method we did it in Japan.
Objects were 340 healthy youths. The stimulated points were the well points in each meridian. The low frequency electroacupuncture (5-20Hz) was given to these points 30 minutes. Objects showed us their sensation or orally or by gesture.
We divided the result into 4 stages according to the chinese method;
salient…5 (1.5%)
comparatively salient…3 (0.9%)
slightly salient…7 (2.0%)
Non-salient…325 (95.6%)
In China, by the way, objects were 1, 000 people and it was 1.3%, 1.8%, 15.2% and 81.7%.
In this study, though it showed a low incidence of about 4.4% (about 18% in China), it was found that there was a phenomenon of the PSC.
