远红外桑拿对睡眠障碍者干预后中医脾胃区的远红外成像特征研究

Research on Far Infrared Imaging Charasteristics of Spleen-Stomach in TCM from Sleep Disorders after FIR Sauna Intervention

探讨了远红外桑拿干预对睡眠障碍者的改善效果以及此时中医脾胃区远红外成像特征的变化情况。从本公司员工中选取了受测者,并利用心肺耦合(CardioPulmonary Coupling,CPC)睡眠检测系统筛选出睡眠质量总评分数小于60分的睡眠障碍者纳入标准。其中有7名志愿者接受了10天7次的远红外桑拿睡眠调理干预。通过对干预前后的CPC及远红外成像特征进行对比分析发现,远红外桑拿使这些睡眠障碍者在整夜睡眠质量总评、熟睡总时间以及浅睡总时间等三项睡眠指标方面得到了改善。其中5名受测者脾胃区的凉偏离现象明显改善,说明此区的温差值(△T)变化均有明显上升(p=0.039)。结果表明,远红外桑拿对睡眠障碍者具有改善效力,具体体现在中医脾胃区的温差值变化上。同时,该研究也为中医理论"胃不和则卧不安"提供了一种科学证据。

The improvement of sleep effect of sleep disorders by far infrared ray(FIR)sauna and the changes of FIR imaging characteristics of their spleenstomach areas in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)were discussed.Several employees of our company were selected to be subjects.The sleep disorders whose cardiopulmonary coupling(CPC)sleep quality evaluation scores were less than 60 were brought into a standard.Among them,seven subjects accepted FIR sauna sleep intervention seven times in ten days.By comparing the CPC and FIR imaging characteristics obtained before and after FIR sauna intervention,it was found that three sleep specifications such as sleep quality(score),stable sleep duration(h)and unstable sleep duration(h)of the subjects were improved.The coolingoff phenomena of the spleenstomach areas of five subjects were improved substantially.This indicated that their△T increased significantly(p=0.039).The results showed that FIR sauna intervention could improve the sleep effect of sleep disorders,which was reflected in the variation of temperature difference in the spleenstomach areas in TCM.Meanwhile,this research also conformed to the"disorder of the stomach leading to insomnia with restlessness"in the theory of TCM.
