    A new Auto Manipulation Device for Acupuncture (AMDA) addresses inconsistencies in manual needle manipulation. This device offers stable, quantified effects and higher frequencies for improved acupuncture treatments.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Acupuncture Technology

    Background:

    • Manual needle lifting and thrusting in acupuncture can suffer from artificial errors in frequency and amplitude due to individual operator differences.
    • A need exists for a controlled device to ensure stable, quantified effects and higher frequencies in acupuncture manipulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the preliminary development and functional parameter characterization of an Auto Manipulation Device for Acupuncture (AMDA).
    • To evaluate the AMDA's performance and clinical application plausibility.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed the Auto Manipulation Device for Acupuncture (AMDA).
    • Characterized AMDA functional parameters using tissue-simulating Agar gel phantoms (4.8%, 5.2%, 5.4% concentrations).
    • Conducted tests for linearity, reliability, and safety under varying drive voltages, frequencies, and simulated tissue conditions.
