艾条温和灸的灸感与施灸距离关系的临床观察

摘要

目的:探讨艾条温和灸的灸感与施灸距离的关系,为临床施灸时的适当灸距提供参考.方法:校园招募18~35岁健康志愿者16名,在手三里、足三里、肾俞、天枢穴分别施行艾条温和灸,记录施灸距离分别为5 cm、4 cm、3 cm和2 cm时的灸感出现情况及频数分布,运用温和灸量表统计灸感得分.结果:温和灸的灸感以温热感为主,灼痛感及酸胀感随距离减少而增加;随着施灸距离的减小,同一穴位温和灸评分相应增加;施灸距离为3 cm时的温热感评分为5.5~6.5分,人体感受最为舒适.结论:艾条温和灸施灸距离为3 cm时的灸感最舒适.%Objective: To explore the correlation between moxibustion sensation and distance of moxa stick and provide reference for clinical practice. Methods: A total of 16 healthy volunteers aged 18-35 years old in college were recruited and given mild moxibustion at Shousanli (LI 10), Zusanli (ST 36), Shenshu (BL 23) and Tianshu (ST 25) with moxa stick, and the occurrence and frequency of moxibustion sensation were recorded at distances of 5 cm, 4 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm. Mild moxibustion scale was used to count the score. Results: Warm was the main moxibustion sensation, burning pain and soreness decreased with the rise of distance; for the same acupoint, score of mild moxibustion scale increased with the decrease of distance; score ranged between 5.5 and 6.5 at distance 3 cm, which was the most comfortable distance for volunteers. Conclusion: The distance of 3 cm is the most comfortable distance in mild moxibustion.
