Abstract

|
|
Objectives: To investigate the effect of Dong-si acupoint(Ling-gu, Da-bai) on the tension of Governer vessel and Bladder meridian muscle.
Methods: Sample group of 15 healthy subjects had been treated by acupuncture on Dong-si acupoint(Ling-gu, Da-bai) which has been proved effective against back pain and sciatica. Control group of 15-healthful subjects had not treatment during 5 minutes after first check. Outcomes were assessed at just before a step and after 5 minutes by finger to floor method(FFM) for hamstring muscle, back distance method for erector spinae muscle and Meridian-Electromyograph(MEMG) for both muscles.
Results: The tension of both muscles assessed by FFM and MEMG had decreased significantly in sample group, while muscle tension assessed by back distance method had no statistical significance. Control group had not produced meaningful consequence on all assessment.
Conclusions: Dong-si acupoint(Ling-gu, Da-bai) can usefully reduce the tension of Governer vessel and Bladder meridian muscle, which is accounted for meridian muscle conducting muscle tension between two-body parts distant from each other.
