生安胶囊对人体红外热像的影响

目的：探索适用于中医的方便客观睡眠评估技术。方法：开展随机对照双盲试验,受试者为睡眠不佳的在校大学生,治疗组服用生安胶囊,对照组服用安慰剂。治疗周期为108天。以人体红外热像的3个图像特征（眼特征,颈特征,右上腹特征）为观察指标。结果：红外热像能有效反映生安胶囊对人体的影响,试验结束时男性眼特征值以及右上腹特征值与特征值改变量、女性颈特征值与特征值改变量治疗组均明显低于对照组（P〈0．05或P〈0．01）。治疗组的相对有效率为87．5％,对照组为25．0％,组间差异显著（P=0．0001）。红外热像还显示了对照组在试验结束时明显的性别差异。结论：红外热像在睡眠研究具有广阔的应用前景。

Effect of Sheng''an Capsule on Infrared Thermal Images Outcomes

Objective：The study is designed to investigate convenient techniques for evaluating sleeping quality. Methods：A doubleblind randomized trial was carried out on university students with sleeping disorders who were given Sheng＇ an capsule or the placebo respectively for 108 days. Three features of infrared thermal images （ITI）, i.e. the eye feature （EF）, neck feature （NF） and right upper quadrant feature （RUQF） were observed. Results：The effect of Sheng＇ an capsule was satisfactorily reflected by ITI. After the trial, male EF value, male RUQF value and its change, and female NF value and its change were statistically lower than those of the control group （P≤0. 01 or ≤0. 05）. With the relative efficacy rate of 87.5% for the trial group and 25.0% for the control, there was significant difference between the two groups （P = 0. 0001 ）. ITI also showed sex-related differences in the control group at end of the trial. Conclusion：There are broad prospects for ITI application in sleeping study.
