Research has not demonstrated whether multiple cups of negative pressure cupping therapy would induce interactions of hemodynamic responses between different areas. A multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to assess oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin oscillations in response to cupping therapy. Wavelet transform and wavelet phase (WPC) coherence were used to quantify NIRS signals. Three levels of negative pressure (-75, -225, and -300 mmHg) were applied to the gastrocnemius in 12 healthy adults. Oxyhemoglobin coherence between the two inside-cup areas was higher at -75 mmHg compared to -300 mmHg in both metabolic (WPC = 0.80 ± 0.11 vs. 0.73 ± 0.13) and neurogenic (WPC = 0.70 ± 0.11 vs. 0.60 ± 0.17) controls. Deoxyhemoglobin coherence was also higher at -75 mmHg compared to -300 mmHg in both metabolic (WPC = 0.78 ± 0.11 vs. 0.66 ± 0.14) and neurogenic (WPC = 0.67 ± 0.11 vs. 0.58 ± 0.13) controls. Our study provides first evidence on the interaction of hemodynamic responses between the two cups of cupping therapy using WPC analysis of NIRS signals.
研究尚未证实多杯负压拔罐疗法是否会诱发不同区域之间血流动力学反应的相互作用。使用多通道近红外光谱（NIRS）来评估拔罐疗法引起的氧合血红蛋白和脱氧血红蛋白振荡。小波变换和小波相位（WPC）相干性用于量化NIRS信号。对12名健康成年人的腓肠肌施加三种水平的负压（-75、-225和-300 mmHg）。在代谢（WPC = 0.80±0.11对0.73±0.13）和神经源性（WPC = 0.70±0.11对0.60±0.17）对照中，-75 mmHg时两个杯内区域之间的氧合血红蛋白相干性均高于-300 mmHg。在代谢（WPC = 0.78±0.11对0.66±0.14）和神经源性（WPC = 0.67±0.11对0.58±0.13）对照中，-75 mmHg时脱氧血红蛋白相干性也高于-300 mmHg。我们的研究首次提供了使用NIRS信号的WPC分析来证明两杯拔罐疗法之间血流动力学反应相互作用的证据。
