In our previous study, we have shown that low power laser irradiation of the stellate ganglion produces a rise in temperature in the bilateral facial skin. To clarify the mechanism behind this phenomenon, irradiation was performed on the ulnar nerve at the elbow joint. The sensation felt during irradiation was reported by the subjects. Changes in temperature of the hand dorsum were thermographically recorded. The evoked peripheral autonomic surface potentials (PASP) were also recorded. 77.3% of the subjects reported sensation changes in the hand; the temperature rose in both hands in 3 out of 5 subjects. The PASPs did not show marked changes in latency or amplitude. It is suggested that the effects of the irradiation are brought about mainly through the stimulation of the central nervous system.
在我们之前的研究中，我们已经表明，对星状神经节进行低功率激光照射会使双侧面部皮肤温度升高。为了阐明这一现象背后的机制，我们在肘关节处的尺神经上进行了照射。受试者报告了照射过程中所感受到的感觉。用热成像记录了手背部的温度变化。还记录了诱发的外周自主表面电位（PASP）。77.3%的受试者报告手部感觉有变化；5名受试者中有3名双手温度升高。PASP在潜伏期或波幅上未显示出明显变化。提示照射的效应主要是通过刺激中枢神经系统产生的。
