Study Of ACVD Therapeutic System Based On TCM Acupuncture And Moxibustion Theory

Acute Cerebrovascular Disease,(ACVD) or stroke is a kind of popular disease that harming the human health with high incidence, death rate, cripple rate and high recrudescence rate. In modern medicine, there isn't yet a reliable and efficient curing method for this disease. Most of the clinical treatments of stroke are experimental. According to the result of research, the most efficient treatment method of stroke is the combination use of internal medicine, surgery and physical methods.Acupuncture and moxibustion in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been applied to treat stroke for thousands of years. By now, its efficacy has been proved by clinical practice and is being accepted by more and more people in the world. It is significant to study the theoretical basement of therapeutic instrument that based on the TCM Acupuncture and moxibustion.In this thesis, the author aimed at a stroke physical therapeutic system based on the engineering duplication of the needle manipulating methods and moxibustion in TCM. The main works are as following.Design of therapeutic system basing on the personal computer and the medical theory of XingNaoKaiQiao and Cranial Stimulation. The core technique is the electroacupuncture and optic moxibustion reinforce and reduce. The system has the characteristics of intelligent instrument and expert knowledge help function will be also concerned.Study on the critical technique of the system-electroacupuncture. Basing on the study of the needle manipulating methods in TCM, we extract the features of the needle manipulating methods of reinforcement and reduction, and then map these features from the field of TCM to engineering field according to the symbolic measuring method. Study on the corresponding electroacupuncture signals that simulating the needle manipulating methods of reinforcement and reduction in TCM. Study on methods of electroacupuncture reinforce or reduce signals basing on the series of chaos and fuzzy distribution to solve the adaptability problem in electric stimulation.Study on the critical technique of the system _optical moxibustion. The study and measurement of the heat radiate spectrum of moxibustion in TCM. These works includes : the indirect measuring methods basing on chroma principle; Direct measuring using a self constructed system The calculation and estimation of the 200-15000nm spectrum and energy distribution of moxibustion. Study on the Spectrum duplication method of moxibustion by using a tungsten-halogen lamp with an ellipsoid reflex housing and optical filter. By PWM control of power of the light radiator, realize optical moxibustion reinforce and reduce according to the theory of active and deep stimulation.Study on the model establishment and simulation of skin under electric stimulation to validate the active and deep stimulate by plane electrode.By human and animal experiments, study on the feasibility of the electroacupuncture and optical moxibustion in the system designed that simulating the reinforcement and reduction of acupuncture and moxibustion in TCM. This may prove the efficacy of the system in treating stroke.
