Abstract:
40 healthy male students aged 19-24 were selected randomly to study the influences of electric acupuncture in PC6 (Noi Quan point) on blood circular indicators 30 minutes before and after the puncture, and alone 1 8 day period of treatment (30minutes each day). 20 of these subjects were selected as control subject underwent an out of point acupuncture. Circular indicators include heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, ECG (time and altitude of P, QRS waves, T; time of PR, QT and TP intervals). Results showed that PC6 puncture reduced dramatically heart rate, systolic pressure 30 minutes after the procedure and after 8 day period of treatment. On ECG, the QT and TP time prolonged after this period. These changes of indicators were not detected on control group (without of point acupuncture).
