The Effects of Scraping Therapy on Local Temperature and Blood Perfusion Volume in Healthy Subjects

Figure 3

The infrared thermograph images showed the skin temperature of the right body side (scraping) increased significantly after stimulation. Skin temperature increased in the scraping area and extended onto the opposite side and the neck 15 min after scraping. The local temperature increase lasted about 1 hour. (a)–(f): image otabined at 5 min before scraping, 0, 15, 30, 60, and 90 min after scraping.
