Using the Objective Physiological Parameters to Test TCM Syndrome in Sub-health Subjects

Health Status Clinical Trial

Official title:
Using the Objective Physiological Parameters to Test TCM Syndrome in Sub-health Subjects

Clinical Trial Summary

Background: Suboptimal health status (SHS) is a dynamic state potential clinical stage or prior psychosomatic disease stage during which people have not been diagnosed with a disease, but they have risk factors for illness and have tendency to develop diseases. The term refers to an existing condition of ill health that could lead to a pathologic condition but could also be eliminated, enabling the individual in question to return to a state of good health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emphasizes the importance of health care and the idea that preventive treatment for diseases is superior to curative treatment. Therefore, early TCM-based intervention can improve the health status of people with SHS. People with SHS often experience such nonspecific symptoms as fatigue; such symptoms are typical of SHS from the perspective of TCM. The present study investigated people with SHS and fatigue as their primary symptom. All enrolled participants completed a physical questionnaire, after which their physiological parameters were monitored using a cloud physiological signal monitoring system to investigate correlations with TCM patterns. Methods: The participants first completed a body constitution questionnaire, the WHO Quality of Life questionnaire, the SHSQ-25 questionnaire, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and subsequently underwent sphygmography to determine their pulse patterns. Analyses of pulse waves were presented in relation to the spectral energy ratio (SER), and SER10 scores represented subtle changes in internal organ blood flow; 13-50-Hz spectrum analysis for pulse delineated any flow energy deviation in organs.
