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

<table>Visual image (middle) taken at 5 min after scraping showed that the skin of the scraping area turned apparently red. Laser Doppler images (left, non-scraping side; right, scraping side) showed the blood perfusion volume. Images (a)–(f) were taken at 5 min before scraping, 0 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min and 90 min after scraping stimulation, respectively.</table>
