Regularity Observation On The Temperature Of Wells In Cervical Spondylosis

Objective:To observe the relationship between temperature differences of bilateral well-points and cervical spondolysis. The research was designed to observe how temperature of well-points changes for cervical spondylosis patients. Observation of temperature-differences of well-points was carried out before and after treatment to determine treatment efficacy.Methods:55 cervical spondylosis patients were recruited for the study. Temperature-differences of bilateral well-points of the 12 meridians were recorded.An observation was made on 23 patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis. Temperature-differences of bilateral well-points of 12 meridians were recorded before and after treatment.27 healthy volunteers were selected and temperatures of bilateral well-points were taken and compared with those of vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis patients. Volunteers were asked to take a rest on a warm chamber set at a temperature of 24.3℃ ～26.0℃ for at least 15 minutes, with their fingers and foot exposed before their temperatures were measured.SPSS 17.0 was used to analyze the data.Results:1. Well-point temperature differences of the three Yang meridians at the lower limbs of 55 cervical spondylosis patients were higher than those of the three Yin meridians. Well-point temperature differences of six meridians at the lower limbs are higher than those at the upper limbs.2. Compared with healthy people, the following well-point temperature differences of patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis are higher:Shao-Shang(LU11), Shang-Yang(LI1), Shao-Chong(HT9), Yin-Bai(SP1), Da-Dun(LR1), Li-Dui(ST45), Zu-Qiao-Yin(GB44), Zhi-Yin(BL67).3. Guan-Chong(TE1) is a significant point from the comparison of temperature differences between non-treated patients and treated patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.Conclusions:1. Well-point temperature-differences of the three Yang meridians at lower limbs are more obvious than those of the three Yin meridians. The average well-point temperature differences of six meridians at the lower limbs are higher than the six meridians of upper limbs.2. Upon comparison with healthy people, the following well-point temperature differences of vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis patients are higher: Shao-Shang(LU11), Shang-Yang(LI1), Shao-Chong(HT9), Yin-Bai(SP1), Da-Dun(LR1), Li-Dui(ST45), Zu-Qiao-rin(GB44), Zhi-Yin(BL67).3. Guan-Chong(TE1)’s temperature difference between non-treated and treated vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis patients is significant.
