What is Characteristics of Electrical Skin Resistance at Acupuncture Points in Healthy Humans about?
Results: A total of 631 ESRMs was evaluated: In 62.8 % of the measured APs, no signifi cant ESR diff erence was found. In 234 (37.2 %) of the ESRMs, the ESR at the AP was signifi cantly diff erent from the surrounding skin area, with 163 (25.9 %) points showing a lower and 71 (11.3 %) points showing a higher ESR. Reproducibility was extremely high after 1 minute but was low after 1 hour and 1 week. Conclusions: This study shows that electrical skin resistance at APs can either be lower or higher compared to the surrounding area. The phenomenon is characterized by high short-term and low long-term reproducibility. Therefore, we conclude that APs might possess specifi c transient electrical properties. However, as the majority of the measured APs did not show a changed ESR, it cannot be concluded from our data that electrical skin resistance measurements can be used for acupuncture point localization or diagnostic/therapeutic purposes.
