| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study aimed to investigate the effects of varying stimulation conditions of acupuncture on the changes of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Study1: The effects of acupuncture needle insertion on BP and HR were investigated. Study2: The temporal changes of BP and HR effects elicited by acupuncture with electrical stimulation (EA), and the effects of varying stimulation frequencies were investigated. The study indicate that 1Hz condition only showed depressor and bradycardic effects. Study3: BP and HR changes elicited by varying the stimulation intensity of EA were investigated. The study indicated that 5V condition only showed decreasing trends of BP. Study4: The effects on changes of BP to manual acupuncture (MA) and EA were investigated. There were no difference between groups with degree of decreased BP. Study5: HR responses at different acupoints were investigated using MA. In all acupoints, the mean value of HR decreased significantly when compared with baseline.
