Evaluate Laser Needle Effect on Blood Perfusion Signals of Contralateral Hegu Acupoint with Wavelet Analysis

Figure 2

Change of MBF in left Hegu acupoint. All data expressed as Mean ± SEM. NH-S: Non-Hegu stimulation; H-S: Hegu acupoint stimulation; (a) shows the average blood flux in NH-S group and H-S group, ** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 , R1 versus R4; ## 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 , R4 versus R8. (b) shows the change of MBF in different time period, which defined as ( 𝑅 𝑖 𝑅 1 ) / 𝑅 1 ( 𝑖 = 1 , 2 , 3 , , 8 ) . In every time, the change of MBF between two group has not significant difference ( 𝑃 > 0 . 0 5 ).
