- Abstract: Objective To observe the temperature changes along meridian courses after Yuan point laser acupuncture and explore the law of meridian courses. Methods Forty healthy male volunteers were treated with Taiyuan and Hegu laser acupunctures. A thermal tomography analytical instrument was used to observe and record the changes of body surface temperature along two meridian courses (lung meridian of hand-taiyin course and hand-yangming large intestine meridian). The images taken before and after the laser acupuncture were registered and subtracted to obtain the differences in temperature. The temperature changes of the acupoints and non-acupoints in the meridian courses and some other non-acupoints not in the meridian courses were obtained and analyzed. Results High temperature lines along lung meridian of hand-taiyin course and hand-yangming large intestine meridian coincided with the classical meridian courses. The temperatures of the acupoints and non-acpoints in the meridian courses were increased by 0.81-1.12 ℃ and 0.55-0.75 ℃, respectively, and the temperatures of the non-acupoints not in the meridian courses were increased by 0.35-0.56 ℃. Conclusion Taiyuan laser acupuncture causes the increase of temperature along lung meridian of hand-taiyin course, and Hegu laser acupuncture leads to the increase of temperature along hand-yangming large intestine meridian. The Yuan point laser acupuncture for healthy person increases the temperature along meridian courses.
