Description

[Objective]We researched the effect on three acupuncture stimulation groups and a non-stimulation group used for arterial compliance. <BR>[Methods]This study was conducted on 70 healthy volunteers divided randomly into four groups. We observed the effects of arterial compliance by measuring the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity score (baPWVs), ankle brachial pressure index (ABI), Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) using form PWV/ABI®. Acupuncture stimulation groups were divided into LI10 (Shousanli, Te no Sanri n = 23) group, ST36 (Zusanli, Ashi no Sanri n = 18) group, and CV12 (Zhongwan, Chukan n = 19) groups.<BR>[Results]We found that baPWVs significantly decreased in both the LI10 (before 1222 ± 203cm/s vs after 986 ± 143cm/s) and ST36 (before 1245 ± 126 cm/s vs after 1014 ± 120 cm/s) groups (p < 0.05), but not significantly in the CV12 group (before 1264 ± 222 cm/s vs 1287 ± 226 cm/s) and non-stimulation groups (before 1228 ± 144 cm/s vs after 1222 ± 150 cm/s). ABI, SBP, DBP and HR were not significant in the all groups. <BR>[Conclusion]These results suggest that upper and lower extremities or the abdomen in acupuncture stimulation may influence the activity of arterial compliance.
