Abstract
This paper was performed for the older people with cognitive abilities deteriorated, and its effectiveness is analyzed through measurement value of HRV. This paper was investigated the major acupressure that has been used frequently to people who has to decrease cognitive ability in the old documents. We measure the several variation by using a measuring instrument of HRV after performing an operation of acupuncture and moxibustion for elderly degraded cognitive ability. As compared with the measured values, the moxibustion and acupuncture to changes in the autonomic nervous system, heart rate and how it affects the efficacy was measured. As a result of research, acupuncture and moxibustion could be confirmed through the HRV analysis that there is a positive effect on the improvement of cognitive skills.
본 논문은 인지능력이 저하된 노인들에게 침과 뜸 요법을 시행하고 HRV 측정값을 통하여 그 효과를 분석한다. 인지능력이 저하되거나 상실된 사람들에게 자주 사용되었던 주요한 경혈을 고문헌에서 조사하였다. 인지능력이 저하된 노인들에게 침과 뜸을 시술한 후 HRV 측정기를 이용하여 여러 가지 변화를 측정하였다. 측정된 값들을 상호 비교하여 자율신경계와 심박동수의 변화에 침과 뜸이 어떤 영향을 주는지 효능을 측정하였다. 연구 결과 침과 뜸이 인지능력의 개선에 긍정적이 효과가 있다는 것을 HRV 분석을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.
