This study presents a non-drug therapy using electrical pulses for acupuncture. It precisely monitors healing effects by adapting to real-time biophysical changes in acupuncture points.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Acupuncture Research
  • Non-pharmacological Therapies

Background:

  • Traditional acupuncture methods lack precise quantitative feedback for treatment efficacy.
  • Overload of acupuncture points can lead to adverse effects and reduced therapeutic outcomes.
  • Current non-drug treatments require objective measures for healing effect evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method for non-drug disease treatment utilizing electrical stimulation at acupuncture points.
  • To enable exact evaluation of healing effects by preventing acupuncture point overload.
  • To develop a system that dynamically adjusts electrical pulse parameters based on real-time biophysical feedback.

Main Methods:

  • A bistable/monostable square wave oscillator generates electrical pulses for acupuncture point stimulation.

  • Electrical pulse parameters (frequency, duration, rise time, duty cycle) are modulated by complex skin impedance (z) and infrared skin thermal emission (te).
  • Acoustic and visual feedback channels process oscillator outputs, with visual feedback involving amplitude-frequency analysis and RGB color blending.

    • Main Results:

    • The system delivers electrical pulses whose parameters adapt to dynamic biophysical properties of acupuncture points.
    • Acoustic and visual feedback channels provide information modulated by acupuncture point parameters.
    • The visual channel generates a color picture reflecting biophysical dynamics, intended to prepare the patient's Central Nervous System (CNS) for therapeutic programs.

    Conclusions:

    • This method offers a precise, adaptive approach to non-drug therapy for diseases via acupuncture.
    • The integrated biofeedback system allows for objective monitoring and adjustment of therapeutic interventions.
    • The technology holds potential for enhancing the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatments by engaging the CNS through multi-sensory feedback.
