摘要: In pulse diagnosis, an important diagnostic technique in traditional medicine (TM), treatment plans for therapies are adjusted according to a patient’s observed pulse. Use of this approach suggests that blood flow can be ideal indicator the effectiveness TM humans. To our knowledge, few studies have examined relationship between peripheral artery haemodynamics and We must overcome some difficulties confirm hypothesis. First, it is necessary use very simple intervention study investigate its effect add reproducibility. Second, we need quantitative evaluate interventions such as acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine. Acupuncture moxibustion complex interventions, complexity causes loss objectivity study. recent studies, employed or standardised acupuncture simulator ensure reproducible results. On other hand, volume (BFV) known index demonstrate condition organs tissues. Thus, BFV show effects on human body. would like summarise 4 studies: first, extremities (Takayama et al., 2010); second, abdominal 2009); third, comparison fourth, patient with open angle glaucoma 2011).
