OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of different acupuncture stimulation on nitric oxide (NO) content in acupoint areas.
METHODS
The experiment was performed in 47 healthy volunteers providing informed consents. Both males and females were included in each group: 11 cases in electro-acupuncture group, 13 cases in manual-acupuncture group, 16 cases in warm-moxibustion group, and 7 cases in control group. Stimulations were given at Jianshi (PC 5) of the Pericardium Meridian and Chengshan (BL 57) of the Bladder Meridian with manual-acupuncture, electro-acupuncture and warm-moxibustion respectively. NO was collected from Ximen (PC 4) and Chengjin (BL 56) areas on the ipsilateral meridians, and the content was detected.
RESULTS
The content of NO in the warm-moxibustion group was higher than that in the electro-acupuncture group, the content in electro-acupuncture group was higher than that in the manual acupuncture group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
All the three stimulations can raise NO levels on acupoint areas significantly, and the effect moxibustion is superior to that of electro-acupuncture and manual acupuncture.
目的
研究不同针刺刺激对穴位区一氧化氮（NO）含量的影响。
方法
本实验在 47 名自愿参加实验的健康志愿者中进行。每组均包括男性和女性：电针组 11 例，手针组 13 例，温灸组 16 例，对照组 7 例。分别在手针、电针和温灸中刺激心包经间使（PC5）和膀胱经承山（BL57）。从同侧经络的西门（PC4）和承筋（BL56）区域采集 NO，并检测其含量。
结果
温灸组的 NO 含量高于电针组，电针组的 NO 含量高于手针组（P<0.05）。
结论
三种刺激均能显著提高穴位区的 NO 水平，灸法的效果优于电针和手针。
