- Abstract: This paper summarized and analyzed various characteristics of meridians and acupoints and their detection technologies in the past 5 years,which screened on PubMed,CNKI(China National Knowledge Infrastructure)database,and Wanfang database.Current studies are primarily focus on the electrical,thermal,and optical characteristics of meridians and acupoints.Utilizing modern technology,devices designed to detect these characteristics have been applied in selecting acupoints,assisting diagnosis,reflecting the effectiveness of acupuncture,and conducting health assessments.The use of external detection devices to explore the physical properties of meridians and acupoints provides more precise technical feedback for substantial research into these areas.However,future efforts must strengthen the comprehensive exploration of meridian and acupoint characteristics and foster interdisciplinary technological integration.This approach will enable a positive development cycle of"detection-feedback-relearning"in the research of meridian and acupoint characteristics.
