针灸的高度可变性给系统研究带来了挑战。本研究的目的是测试的可行性量化针灸针操作使用运动和力的测量。假设不同的针刺风格和技术会产生不同的针运动和力模式，这些模式可以量化并相互区分。一种新的针刺传感器工具（Acusensor）被用来记录针刺在真实的时间，由六名新英格兰针灸学院的工作人员从'中国针灸'（风格1）和'日本针灸'（风格2）程序（三个从每个）。每位教员专家使用补（技术1）和分散（技术2）在12名健康受试者中针刺12个点（6个双侧位置）。从原始针刺数据计算的参数为位移幅值、位移频率、旋转幅值、旋转频率、力幅值和扭矩幅值。数据分析显示，两种不同针刺风格的工作人员进行针刺之间的位移和旋转幅度有显着差异。技术1和2之间的位移频率的显着的整体差异，不依赖于正在执行的针灸的风格也被发现。位移和旋转频率之间的关系，以及位移和力的振幅之间的差异显示出相当大的个体针灸师和科目。针刺运动和力的参数可以量化的治疗一样的设置。针刺数据随后可以进行分析，为基础和临床针灸研究中的针刺特征提供了客观的方法。
The highly variable nature of acupuncture needling creates challenges to systematic research. The goal of this study was to test the feasibility of quantifying acupuncture needle manipulation using motion and force measurements. It was hypothesised that distinct needling styles and techniques would produce different needle motion and force patterns that could be quantified and differentiated from each other. A new needling sensor tool (Acusensor) was used to record needling in real time as performed by six New England School of Acupuncture staff from the ‘Chinese acupuncture’ (style 1) and ‘Japanese acupuncture’ (style 2) programmes (three from each). Each faculty expert needled 12 points (6 bilateral locations) in 12 healthy human subjects using tonification (technique 1) and dispersal (technique 2). Parameters calculated from the raw needling data were displacement amplitude, displacement frequency, rotation amplitude, rotation frequency, force amplitude and torque amplitude. Data analysis revealed significant differences in the amplitude of displacement and rotation between needling performed by staff from two different acupuncture styles. Significant overall differences in the frequency of displacement between techniques 1 and 2 that were not dependent of the style of acupuncture being performed were also found. The relationships between displacement and rotation frequencies, as well as between displacement and force amplitudes showed considerable variability across individual acupuncturists and subjects. Needling motion and force parameters can be quantified in a treatment-like setting. Needling data can subsequently be analysed, providing an objective method for characterising needling in basic and clinical acupuncture research.
