신허요통 환자의 12 경맥 전위측정 연구 = Differences in electric potential of meridian system -Comparing electrical potentials of patients with Lumbago due to the kidney deficiency-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives : Assuming that the characteristic of meridian system has been similar to this of electric potentials in human body and that measurements of electric potential at well(井穴) and sea(合穴) points in branches of the twelve meridians(WSBTM) will be representative of measurements of the twelve meridians, to measure the electric potentials of 16 patients with Lumbago due to the kidney deficiency(腎虛腰痛, LKD), to find out the characteristic of meridian system in patients with LKD. Methods : Electric potentials of welt and sea points in the meridians in twenty one patients with the pain in the lion diagnosed as LKD were repeatedly measured by physiograph(PowerLab). Measurements of those electrical potentials were analyzed by factor analysis. Results : The electric potentials of WSBTM at the left side were divided into five factors. On the other hand those at the right side Were divided into t1vee factors. Conclusions : In conclusion, their electrical potentials at the left and right side were four different factors search side. Thus electrical potentials of welt and sea points might be the representative meridian to show their characteristics.
