Abstract

Objective: To investigate the significance of temperature differences on two different acupuncture points between functional dyspepsia(FD) group and non-functional dyspepsia(non-FD) group respectively.
Methods: We performed this research on 40 patients who came and took D.I.T.I in Kang-nam korean hospital kyung-hee university. We analyzed the averaged temperature of Zhongwon(CV12), Indang(HN1) and, also, investigated the significance of subtraction from Indang to Zhongwon temperature statistically.
Results: The temperature differences from Indang to Zhongwon between functional dyspepsia group and non-functional dyspepsia group was significant, it meant that patients who have functional dyspepsia have more significant temperature difference from Indang(HN1) to Zhongwon(CV12). The direct comparisons of mean temperature between Indang and Zhongwon in the FD group and non-FD group were not significant.
Conclusion: The study provide hypothesis on the temperature difference from Indang(HN1) to Zhongwon(CV12) and its association with functional dyspepsia. This study can provide a foundation for future studies on the evaluation of functional dyspepsia by using D.I.T.I.
