METHOD FOR DETERMINING PATIENT FUNCTIONAL STATE FROM ACUPUNCTURE POINTS SENSITIVITY THRESHOLD DATA MEASURED ON AURICLE

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves determining sensitivity threshold in preselected acupuncture points on auricle. The points are to be associated with organs, systems and body regions like urogenital system, ENT-organs, neuroendocrinal system, head and locomotor apparatus. Measurement time is 1-2 s long. Standard diagnosis corridor zone is equal to 0-40 mcA. Diagnostic acupuncture points parameters significance zone is limited with some value greater than 40 mcA. Local remote bipolar electrode is used. The electrode has plastic casing and coaxial contact group. The central negative polarity contact member is rod of 0.5 mm diameter arranged inside of positive polarity contact member of 0.8 mm large internal diameter and 1.0 mm large external diameter having dielectric material like polyvinyl chloride. ^ EFFECT: accelerated and high accuracy diagnosis procedure. ^ 7 dwg, 9 tbl
