Intervention

Procedure:
acupuncture and moxibustion
Participants receive acupuncture and then measure the VAS and electric characteristic by the semiconductor analyzer Agilent B1500A first. The investigators add the burned moxa on the acupuncture as a method for moxibustion, and then measure the VAS and electric characteristic again.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary change of visual analogue scale (VAS), score from 0 to 10, the lower score means less pain while the higher score means more pain. The investigators measure visual analogue score immediately after intervention of acupuncture (baseline data) and moxibustion (post moxibustion data) respectively.
Measured time baseline data: immediately after acupuncture post moxibustion data: immediately after moxa burned out (10 minutes)
through study completion, an average of 90 minutes
Primary The change of electric current Agilent B1500A is a device that can measure the electric current after acupuncture and moxibustion. The investigators measure the electric current after intervention of acupuncture (baseline data) and moxibustion (post moxibustion data) respectively.
Measured time:
baseline data: immediately after acupuncture post moxibustion data: immediately after moxa burned out (10 minutes)
through study completion, an average of 90 minutes
Primary The change of voltage Agilent B1500A is a device that can measure the voltage after acupuncture and moxibustion. The investigators measure the voltage after intervention of acupuncture (baseline data) and moxibustion (post moxibustion data) respectively.
Measured time:
baseline data: immediately after acupuncture post moxibustion data: immediately after moxa burned out (10 minutes)
through study completion, an average of 90 minutes
