Description

[Objective]To investigate the effect of pressure stimulation at a site hemodynamically close to forearms<BR>[Methods]Ten volunteers participated in this study. Hemodynamics (Oxy-and total-hemoglobin) was recorded by near-infrared spectroscopy. Pressure stimulation was performed on the forearms. <BR>[Results]Oxy-hemoglobin increased significantly following 10 minutes of pressure stimulation. In contrast, total-hemoglobin was not changed.<BR>[Conclusion]These results suggest that axon reflexes might be a possible mechanism for the action of pressure stimulation. It can be expected to have more effects when the pressure stimulation is performed for a long term.
