在19名正常受试者中，采用与先前使用Hoku手点的研究相同的程序，通过热成像法评价了手针和电针足三里膝穴的交感神经效应。一个广义的持久变暖（交感神经抑制）的影响下观察手和电针足三里点。此外，节段相关的短暂冷却（交感神经激活）的影响发生与Tsusanli电针。温热效应与Hoku的研究结果一致，似乎是由针刺引起的中枢交感神经抑制。在这两项研究中，冷却效果与针刺部位节段性相关。这种冷却效应很可能反映了血管脊髓反射的节段性激活，而不是一般的情绪唤起。这些交感神经机制可能与针刺镇痛的中枢和外周机制有一定的功能联系。
Sympathetic effects of manual and electrical acupuncture of the Tsusanli knee point were evaluated by thermography in 19 normal subjects under the same procedure used in a previous study using the Hoku hand point. A generalized long-lasting warming (sympathetic inhibition) effect was observed under manual and electrical acupuncture of the Tsusanli point. In addition, a segmentally related short-lasting cooling (sympathetic activation) effect occurred with Tsusanli electrical acupuncture only. The warming effect is consistent with the results of the Hoku study and appears to be a central sympathetic inhibition evoked by acupuncture. The cooling effect was segmentally related to the acupuncture site in both studies. This cooling effect most likely reflects a segmental activation of vasomotor spinal reflexes and not a general emotional arousal. These sympathetic mechanisms may be functionally correlated with central and peripheral mechanisms of acupuncture analgesia.
