The aim of this study is to investigate the response of local and distal skin temperature to moxibustion stimulation (MS) and explore the effects of MS on sympathetic nerve activity.
The distal skin temperatures of fingertips, as an indicator for sympathetic reflex response, were recorded using infrared camera during resting period (10 min), MS period (10 min), and natural cooling period (15 min), respectively.
The MS without ash cleaning (AC) was applied to acupoints Quze (PC3) (Group I) and Lao Gong (PC8) (Group II), respectively.
In Group III, the MS with the operation of AC was performed on PC8.
The temperature responses of the local stimulation points and corresponding control points were also investigated.
At the beginning of MS period, a significant increase of temperature on the stimulation point accompanied by a simultaneous reduction of temperature on fingertips was observed.
A marked negative correlation was also obtained between temperature changes in the stimulation point and in the fingertips.
At the end of natural cooling period (t = 34 min), the temperature of stimulation point was obviously higher than baseline values.
In contrast, the temperatures of fingertips increased and then returned to the baseline levels during the second minute of MS period.
In Group III, the temperature of stimulation point increased every time with the operation of AC, accompanied by the temperature decrease of middle fingertip.
The findings suggest that moxibustion may trigger the sympathetic nervous system and induce the reduction of microcirculation, accompanied by a reduction of fingertip temperature.
In addition, the operation of AC caused repeated cycles of thermal stimulation on the stimulation point, which may repetitively activate cutaneous sympathetic nerve fibres and evoke the temperature reduction of fingertips.
