中医针刺过程中针体受力的动态监测系统研制

Research and Development on the Dynamic System for Detecting the Force of Acupuncture Needle during the Acupuncture Process in the Clinical Practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine

针刺手法是决定中医针灸疗效的关键 ,由于技术上的原因以前关于针灸手法的研究都只能根据医生和病人的感觉与经验来确定 ,这严重阻碍了针灸现代化和国际化的进程。应用现代集成传感技术和生物力学原理 ,研制一套能在人活体上测试各种针刺手法并能感受施针者和受针者相互作用力的检测系统。通过临床实际操作 ,记录到了均匀捻转和均匀提插手法的针体受力波形 ,从而实现了在针刺过程中对针上作用力的定量与客观化的实时检测。为提高临床针刺效果及针灸经络的定量化研究提供一种新的实验手段和分析方法。

Manipulations are essential to the acupuncture curative effect. With the technique limited, the researches on acupuncture manipulations can only be carried out with respect to the senses and experience of doctors and patients, thus seriously impeding the modernization and internationalization of acupuncture. Both the modern integration technology of transducer and the biomechanical principles are applied to develop a detection system that can measure the interaction force between the manipulator and the manipulated patient on the needle at each kind of manipulation. Through clinical practice, the force waveforms acting on needle with the manipulations of symmetrical twirling-rotating and symmetrical lifting-inserting were recorded so as to realize the quantitative,objective and real-time detection of the force during the acupuncture process, which provided a new experimentation means and analysis method for the improvement of clinical curative effect and quantitative research of acupuncture and meridians.
