Brief Summary:
Although some important progresses were made in the field of the meridian research, no breakthroughs have been achieved. Besides,there are some problems in meridian researches. Particularly, previous research of meridian phenomenon involved lots of subjective elements and outcomes.Researches that use modern scientific techniques to investigate the biological characteristics of meridian phenomenon are urgently needed. Therefore, this study is designed to assess the microcirculatory characteristics of meridian phenomenon for the Heart and Lung meridians by using laser doppler. Thus, the biological characteristics of meridian phenomenon could be presented objectively in a scientific methodology.
Detailed Description:
This study will include 40 patients diagnosed with chronic stable angina pectoris (CSAP) and 40 healthy volunteers. Laser doppler examination will be adopted to assess the microcirculatory characteristics of meridian phenomenon for Heart and Lung meridians in the physiology/pathological state. In addition, by comparing microcirculation in the acupoints along the Heart and Lung meridians, the relative specificity of the two meridians will also be investigated. Primary outcomes will be blood flow curve and blood perfusion units(PU). Furthermore, this study will build standardized techniques and schemes for detecting the microcirculatory characteristics of meridian phenomenon for Heart and Lung. The results of this study could also provide scientific foundation for traditional meridian theories.
