Summary

Acupuncture is a method of inserting very thin needles into special points on the body which are called acupoints, to treat diseases. This treatment has been widely applied in health care for over 2500 years. Currently, by synthesizing the results of many clinical studies, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the importance of acupuncture as an effective treatment for various diseases. However, the specific effect of acupoints is still controversial. Until now, several studies have shown that acupoints are associated with certain areas of the human body that are far from the acupoints and can alter the temperature of those area. In our study, we will survey on the change in skin surface temperature at the neck when using acupuncture at Houxi point in healthy volunteers.
