针刺对不同疾病患者血压与脉率的影响

目的 研究针刺对不同类型患者收缩压、舒张压和脉率的影响.方法 对106名受试者在针刺前和起针后立即测量血压和脉率,并咨询有无高血压病史及针刺史,记录下取穴和中西医诊断结果,以便评估针刺不同穴位有不同疾病患者的血压和脉率的作用.结果 针刺后收缩压、舒张压、脉率较针刺前均有不同程度的下降,且差异有统计学意义(P<0.01).针刺史和高血压病史可能不是针刺影响血压、脉率的因素(P>0.05).有些穴位与血压有关;有些穴位与脉率有关(P<0.05或P<0.01).结论 针刺某些穴位对血压和脉率有一定的影响.

The effect of acupuncture on blood pressure and pulse rate

Objective To study the effect of acupuncture on systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of patients with different diseases. Methods Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate of 106 patients older than 18 without history of needling during the last month, were measured before and immediately after every treatment session. Also history of hypertension, history of needling and acupoints were recorded for every patient. Results After acupuncture, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate significantly decreased comparing to the levels before acupuncture (P<0.01). History of needling and hypertension did not affect the outcome of acupuncture on BP and PR (P>0.05) . There is a correlation between acupuncture in some acupoints and blood pressure or pulse rate (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion Acupuncture in some acupoints has certain effects on blood pressure and pulse rate.
