Abstract

Objectives This study is on the quantifying method for the acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index, which are based on the some definitions. Methods The magnitude of the acupuncture-moxa cautery is defined by the pain-feeling of the acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulation: the stimulation magnitude of the acupuncture is 1, that of the direct moxa-cautery is 2, and that of the indirect moxa-cautery is 0.5. The heat variation of the acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulation is defined by the heat variations of the characteristic points pre/post-stimulations in the stenosis of the lumber. The acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index is defined by the ratio of between the magnitude of the heat variation and the natural logarithmic magnitude of the stimulation. Results With the respect of the acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index, I experimented and estimated 4 types of stimulations in the stenosis of the lumber: the single acupuncture stimulation with 40%, the single direct moxa-cautery stimulation with 52%, the combinational acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulations with 27%, and the combinational acupuncture-indirect electronic moxa-cautery stimulations with 53%. Conclusions According to the acupuncture-moxa cautery heat response index. the combinational acupuncture-moxa cautery stimulations especially need to be changed to the combinational acupuncture-indirect electronic moxa-cautery stimulations.
