目的:穴位具有低電阻與高電位的特性,患者對刺激所產生的特殊電磁反應,被認為與疾病有關。脈輪(Chakra)是針灸穴位的能量中心。本研究的目的即在探討脈輪的能量指數高低與症狀的關係。方法:以健康評估表問卷收集69名受測者的自覺症狀,並利用量子健康指數比對系統(Quartum C. I. Xrroid System)檢測其眉心輪、胃輪、氣海輪的能量指數。結果:脈輪的平均能量指數為72.8º。個別脈輪能量指數的高低與受測者有否自覺症狀之間並無顯著相關,但個別脈輪能量指數偏高或偏低(超過兩個標準差)的個案,則大部份有自覺症狀。結論:對於個別脈輪能量指數偏高或偏低而造成脈輪間能量失衡的個案,值得提醒其注意或促其接受進一步的診療。
Objectives: the characteristics of low resistance and high conductance in acupuncture points have been postulated to represent disease by a relative electro-magnetic reactivity in patients. Chakras are energy centers in acupuncture. Chakras are postulated to be correlated with symptoms of patients. Methods: In order to evaluate the relationship between testing scores and symptoms of patients, the symptoms of 69 patients were recorded using a questionnaire. Examination at the Chakras of Brow, Stomach (Solar Plexus), and Navel (Sacral) were performed using the Quantum C.I. Xrroid System. Result: the average score of Chakras was 72.8. There was no significant correlation between symptoms and individual Chakras. However, most patients with energy scores beyond two standard deviations had sysmptoms. Conclusions: These results suggest that further investigation of health condition may be warranted if acupuncture point testing score is either too high or too low. (Full text in Chinese)
