Abstract
Objective : Cold hypersensitivity is excessive sensitivity of each body part. particularly limbs and low backs, but sometimes it affects upper abdomen region in G-I trouble patients. Methods : We conducted this research on 69 patients who came and took the both exam of gastroscopy and D.I.T.I. in kangnam korean hospital kyung hee university. So, we researched the significance of temperature deviations on upper abdomen which was studied separately by gastritis group, digestive function group and H. pylori group. Results and Conclusion : The temperature deviation of Zhongwan(Ren12)-Danzhong(Ren17) of gastritis group and indigestive patients was significant, it means that patients who have severe gastritis and indigestion have more significant cold hypersensitivity in upper abdomen. The temperature deviation of Zhongwan(Ren12)-Danzhong(Ren17) of H.pylori positive patients in H.pylori group was not significant. The clinical relationship or tendency was not found both between H.pylori group and gastritis group and between H.pylori group and digestive function group.
