Increased Blood Flow Capacity |
The result showed that obvious effect (p less than 0.05-0.01) was found in the group in which propagated sensation reached the affected area, some effect in the propagated sensation group, and little effect in the local sensation group.
The result indicated that the method of acupuncture excitation of propagated sensation could relieve vascular and muscle convulsion and ease the degree of vascular tension and obstruction. It could increase the blood flow capacity of cervical and vertebra artery significantly, so that it could play the role of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and improving tissue nutrition and autonomic nerve function.
This study showed further that to let acupuncture excited propagated sensation reach the affected area was an important method of promoting clinical effect.
