Abstract:
We treated a patient (aged 57, a housewife, traumatic cervical syndrome), to be called a meridian sensitive patient, who displayed definite meridian phenomenon.
In the patient, a type of meridian phenomena, Phenomenon of Propagated Sensation along the Channels (PSC), was examined. Reffering the Nagahama and Maruyama's method and the method used in China, we employed a method whereby a pressure stimulus was applied with a press needle alternately to the terminal point on each of the 12 regular meridians as well as to a certain point on each of the extra meridians.
As a result, the following coincidence rates of PSC and the classical meridians were obtained:
20% (the small intestine meridian, the posterior median extra meridian, the impetuous pulse and the extra meridian around the waist) of all the 20 meridians were almost entirely coincident.
55% of all the meridians were partly coincident.
25% (the spleen pancreas meridian, the heart meridian, the pericardium meridian, the lung meridian and the anterior midline meridian) were not coincident.
