The recording of the objective pulse diagnosis was performed and the meridian points were selected from this recording. The proper meridian points (five element points) according to the five element theory and the improper points (non-five element points) were stimulated. Pain threshold was elevated by the stimulation of five element points and not raised by non-five element points in a patient who had nasal polypectomy under acupuncture analgesia and also in 6 of 9 healthy volunteers. Naloxone reversal of elevated pain threshold was also observed in volunteers.
进行了客观脉象诊断记录，并从该记录中选取经络穴位。根据五行理论选取了合适的经络穴位（五输穴）和不合适的穴位（非五输穴）并进行刺激。在接受针刺镇痛下鼻息肉切除术的患者以及9名健康志愿者中的6名中，刺激五输穴可提高痛阈，而非五输穴则不能提高痛阈。在志愿者中还观察到纳洛酮可逆转升高的痛阈。
