본 연구는 개에서 위수혈(BL-21) 및 중완혈(CV-12)에 대한 지침의 구토억제효과를 규명할 목적으로 수행하였다. 사용 혈위는 BL-21 및 CV-12이었다. 각 군에서 구토 유발을 위하여 $2{\%}$ xylazine(2.2 mg/kg)을 투여하였으며, metoclopramide 수침은 1 mg/kg의 비율로 해당 혈위에 각각 수침하였다 대조군 및 실험군에 있어서 xylazine 투여 20분전에 BL-21 및 CV-12에 자침, metoclopramide 수침 및 뜸 처치를 각각 실시하였다. 대조군 및 실험군에서 구토율 및 구토발현시간을 각각 조사한 결과는 다음과 같았다. BL-21자침군, CV-12 자침군 및 BL-21과 CV-12 병용 자침군의 구토율은 각각 $33.3{\%}\;50.0{\%}$ 및 $33.3{\%}$로서 대조군($66.7{\%}$)보다 낮았다. BL-21 자침군, CV-12 자침군 및 BL-21과 CV-12 병용 자침군에 있어서 구토 발현 시간은 대조군과 유사하였다. BL-21 수침군 및 CV-12 수침군의 구토 억제율은 각각 $100{\%}$ 및 $83.6{\%}$로서 수침군의 대조군($63.6{\%}$)보다 높았다. 구토발현시간은 수침군의 BL-21 수침군은 0분이었으며, CV-12 수침군은 5분으로서 수침군의 대조군과 유사하였다.
