Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This study was to develop programmable and rechargeable electronic moxibustion device as an interdisciplinary research focusing on traditional Korean medicine.
Methods : This device deployed several advances on safety and conveniences with the advantage of programmable heat stimulation, heating material and recharging method. The gradient of heat stimulation was programmed with the reference of previous studies and own measurements. The heat curve reached its efficacious stimulus temperature after three minutes, and maintained until 13 minutes with 42℃. We also incorporated feedback from field hospital experiences with the help of hospital staffs.
Results : This device can prevent damages from skin burn and fire accidents, and control the smoke, smell and residue of moxa itself.
Conclusions : This study will contribute for the development and improvement of efficacious and safe treatment methods for the traditional Korean medicine.
