课题组前期研究证实热敏灸感是人体在疾病状态下体表穴位出现热敏化的表现，具有普遍性并与疾病高度相关。热敏灸感可以指导临床灸疗准确取穴与科学定量及提高灸疗疗效，而量化敏化程度则是实现这一价值的重要途径。本课题的研制思路是在现代的PRO量表开发路径的基础上，遵循热敏灸理论和热敏灸感的出现规律设计而成。因此，课题组以经典与现代测量理论为指导，选取有高质量临床证据支持的热敏灸有效病症膝骨性关节炎、原发性痛经为测试对象，通过文献与定性研究形成量表条目池；采用经典测量模型进行条目分析与信度、效度和反应度检验，以形成初稿；然后扩大样本，分别采用概化理论和项目反应理论从宏观和微观层面系统全面对量表条目和结构属性进行评估考核，最终形成具有良好的科学性和可操作性的热敏灸感量表。

Our Group preliminary study proved that heat-sensitive moxibustion sensation was the performance of heat-sensitivation of acupuncture points on body surface in state of disease, and was universal and highly correlated with the disease. heat-sensitive moxibustion sensation can guide moxibustion loaction, clinical quantitative dosage and improve the moxibustion therapeutic effect. To quantify the degree of sensitization is important way to achieve this value.This study was designed by heat-sensitive moxibustion theory and law based on the modern PRO scale development path. Therefore, Team selected the effective disease knee osteoarthritis, primary dysmenorrhea as test object, guided by the classical and modern measurement theory, with a high quality clinical evidence to support, through literature and qualitative research to form scale entry pool;Entry by classical measurement model was analyzed and the reliability, validity and reaction degree of inspection, to form a first draft;And then expand the sample, respectively by using generalized theory and item response theory from the macro and micro level system for inventory items and structure properties of evaluation, finally forms the good scientific nature and operability heat-sensitive moxibustion sensation scale.
