摘要
Objective To preliminarily observe the effects of cupping on localized skin temperature of patients with back pain.Methods A total of 43 patients with back pain were included in this study.They were treated with medium-sized cups with a volume of 260 mL The randomly selected Xinshu（心俞 BL 15）on one side（37 cases） was given cupping treatment while that on the other side as the control.And Shenshu（肾俞 BL 23）（6 cases） was treated in the same way.The thermal infrared imager was used to record the changes in localized skin temperature before and after cupping（for 10 minutes）,and then comparison was made with that of the control side.Results After cupping,the localized skin temperature fell and then rose.When the cup was removed after retaining for 10 minutes,the localized skin temperature was（0.4±0.9） ℃（P=0.004） lower than that before cupping;10 minutes after cupping off,the localized skin temperature was（0.4±1.1） ℃（P=0.016） higher than that before cupping while（0.8±0.9） ℃ higher than that when cupping off.The skin surface temperature on the control side declined steadily.Conclusion After cupping treatment,the localized skin temperature fell and then rose while that of the control side declined steadily.It might be related to therapeutic effects.
目的:初步观察拔火罐对背痛患者局部体表温度的影响。方法:43例背痛患者给予中号玻璃火罐治疗,罐內容量为260 mL。拔罐部位随机选取左侧或右侧心俞(37例)或肾俞(6例),另一侧同样部位做为对照,不予拔罐。采用红外热像仪记录留罐10 min前后局部皮肤温度的变化,并与对照部位皮肤温度进行比较。结果:拔罐后局部皮肤温度先降后升,在留罐10 min后起罐时罐区皮肤温度较拔罐前皮肤温度下降(0.4±0.9)℃(P=0.004.),起罐后10 min比拔罐前罐区皮肤温度升高(0.4±1.1)℃(P=0.016),起罐后10 min比起罐时罐区皮肤温度升高(0.8±0.9)℃(P=0.000)。而对照部位的皮肤温度则持续下降。结论:拔罐后局部皮肤温度先降后升,而对照部位的皮肤温度则持续下降。局部皮肤温度的变化可能与疗效的产生相关。
