Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aims of this study are check the thermal pain threshold using a pain thermometer to see if acupuncture anesthesia by acupuncture energization stimulation acts locally or segmentally. also checks to see if there is a gender difference in acupuncture analgesic effects.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The thermal pain threshold is measured using a pain thermometer (manufactured by Unique Medical) to confirm the temperature threshold (temperature at which the temperature was felt), the thermal pain threshold (the temperature that turned into hot pain), and the pain resistance threshold (the temperature at which the temperature at which the temperature can no longer withstand the hot pain). The probe uses a pen type, and the probe temperature starts at 32 degree and reaches a maximum of 50 degree. The temperature rise shall be 0.25 degree/sec. The measurement site is the proximal and distal part of the C 6 region of the right forearm lateral (position 2 cm outside from the height of the proximal quarter of the palm side striated center of the hand joint palmar strident and the proximal quarter of the elbow joint striated) and the opposite side thereof.

Interventions/Control_1

Control group (untreated group): Subjects rested in a reclining position for 20 minutes, followed by 9 experiments, 3 times in the proximal part of the right forearm, 3 times in the distal part, and 3 times in the opposite side. The thermal threshold measurement is recorded by having a signal given at the timing when the sensation explained in advance is obtained and at the pain resistance threshold, the switch can be held by the examinee themselves to stop temperature from rising. Each measurement is spaced 1 minute. The average value of each site and three measurements is adopted.

Interventions/Control_2

Acupuncture energization group: Subjects rested in a reclining position for 20 minutes, followed by 9 experiments, 3 times in the proximal part of the right forearm, 3 times in the distal part, and 3 times in the opposite side. The thermal threshold measurement is recorded by having a signal given at the timing when the sensation explained in advance is obtained and at the pain resistance threshold, the switch can be held by the examinee themselves to stop temperature from rising. Each measurement is spaced 1 minute. The average value of each site and three measurements is adopted. Acupuncture energization is performed at 100Hz in the C6 area of the lateral right forearm (2 cm outside from the center of the palm striatum of the hand joint and the proximal to the proximal of the elbow joint striated) and the amount of current is increased to the point before the pain caused by acupuncture energization is felt.
