摘要

遠紅外線為一非可見光，屬於非游離輻射電磁波，但由於容易被人體吸收，且有很多對人體有益的功效，故廣泛地被使用在醫療方面，而遠紅外線的眾多功效中，促進人體微循環及增加鴉片肽類神經內分泌物質分泌，對於人體有鎮靜止痛的效果。遠紅外線止痛原理分為熱效應與非熱效應兩大類，熱效應可幫助人體血管的擴張，改善人體末梢循環，降低因循環差所造成的疼痛，而不論熱效應與非熱效應均可促進鴉片肽類分泌，降低疼痛感受。雖然遠紅外線已廣泛的使用於中醫臨床，但鎮痛止痛的功能，仍欠缺一完整的使用準則，本文論述紅外線止痛療效之原理，以供臨床醫師參考。

Far infrared (FIR), an invisible, non-ionizing radiation of electromagnetic wave, is widely used in medical because of the absorption by body easy and lots of beneficial effects for the human being. Of the numerous effects in FIR, one can promote the human microcirculation and increase secretion in neuroendocrine substance of the opium peptide, which has sedative and analgesic effects for the human body.The analgesic principle by FIR can be divided into two categories: the thermal effect and non-thermal effect. The thermal effects can help the expansion of human blood vessels, improve the human peripheral circulation, and reduce pain caused by poor peripheral circulation. Both thermal and non-thermal effects relieve pain by promoting opium peptide secretion. FIR had been widely used in Chinese medical clinical but without a guideline of the analgesic function for the use. The article will discuss the principle of analgesic effect in the human body by FIR and be a reference for clinicians.
