Abstract

|
Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the changes of autonomic nervous system by heart rate variability(HRV) test on the musculoskeletal pain patients treated with acupuncture on the Back-su points and the unfixed points, and untreated healthy adults.
Methods: This clinical study have been carried out with 64 cases of musculoskeletal pain patients and 26 healthy adults. 35 patients were treated with acupunctureon on the Back-su points(GroupⅠ) and 26 patients were treated on the Unfixed points(GroupⅡ), and two groups were tested by HRV at pre and post acupuncture treatment. 26 healthy adults(GroupⅢ) were tested twice by HRV without any stimulation.
Results: In GroupⅠ, VAS was decreased 5.83±1.62 to 5.17±1.89 significantly(p<0.05) after acupuncture treatment, and LF/HF ratio was decreased significantly(p<0.05) as compared with other Groups. In GroupⅡ, SDNN & RMSSD were increased significantly(p<0.05) as compared with other Groups. In GroupⅠ&Ⅱ, MHRT was decreased significantly(p<0.05) as compared with healthy control Group.
Conclusions: These results suggest that acupuncture treatment on the Back-su points was able to reduce the pain, suppress the sympathetic activities and enhance the parasympathetic activities in musculoskeletal patients.
