Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In experiments in which acupuncture needles are inserted, if subjects stop breathing slightly or become tachypneic, this will also affect the results of HRV analysis.
Therefore, we will measure the variation in breathing patterns caused by acupuncture stimulation and evaluate the effect on HRV analysis.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Instantaneous heart rate is calculated from the R-R interval of the recorded ECG. In addition, HRV analysis is performed as an indicator of cardiac autonomic function.

Key secondary outcomes

A breathing pickup is attached to the upper abdomen and the breathing pattern is measured from the movement associated with respiratory motion.
The intensity of "pain" or "de qi" associated with acupuncture stimulation is measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) of 10 cm in width.

Type of intervention

Maneuver

Interventions/Control_1

Control group (no treatment) :
After 20 minutes of rest, including the electrode device, the patient will begin respiration and electrocardiogram measurements. A total of 11.5 minutes of measurement is performed.

Interventions/Control_2

Intervention group (acupuncture stimulation) :
After 20 minutes of rest, including the electrode device, respiration and ECG measurements will begin. Measurements will be taken for a total of 11.5 minutes: 5 minutes of rest before stimulation, 90 seconds during stimulation, and 5 minutes of rest after stimulation. After the experiment, a questionnaire regarding the type and severity of pain will be filled out.
Using disposable stainless-steel needles (40 mm long and 0.20 mm thick), stimulate LI4 (lateral to the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone) for 90 seconds.
The acupuncture simulation is applied by the sparrow pecking method; that is, acupuncture needle is inserted and moved vertically at the frequency of 1Hz at depth of 15-20mm.
