The Effect of Acupuncture to SP6 on Skin Temperature Changes of SP6 and SP10: An Observation of “Deqi”

Figure 4

(a) Bar chart shows that skin temperature changes on left SP6 (Mean ± SD, 𝑛=8). 𝑋-axis indicates different time intervals such as baseline–instant interval, instant–5 min interval, 5 min–10 min interval, 10 min–20 min interval, 20 min–30 min interval, 30 min–40 min interval, 40 min–50 min interval, and 50 min–60 min interval. Note: △△ compared with Saline Control Group, 𝑃₁<0.01. ▲▲ compared with Model Group, 𝑃₂<0.01. • compared with Group B (No “Deqi” group), 𝑃₃<0.05. (b) Bar chart shows that skin temperature changes on left SP10 (Mean ± SD, 𝑛=8). 𝑋-axis indicates different time intervals the same as (a). (c) Bar chart shows that skin temperature changes on right SP6 (Mean ± SD, 𝑛=8). 𝑋-axis indicates different time intervals the same as (a). Note: △△ compared with Saline Control Group, 𝑃₁<0.01. ▲▲ compared with Model Group, 𝑃₂<0.01. • compared with Group B (No “Deqi” group), 𝑃₃<0.05. (d) Bar chart shows that skin temperature changes on right SP10 (Mean ± SD, 𝑛=8). 𝑋-axis indicates different time intervals the same as (a). Note: △△ compared with Saline Control Group, 𝑃₁<0.01. ▲▲ compared with Model Group, 𝑃₂<0.01. ▲ compared with Model Group, 𝑃₂<0.05. •• compared with Group B (No “Deqi” group), 𝑃₃<0.01.
