Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measurement of the electrocardiogram (ECG): Electrodes are placed on the chest induction I and recordings are made. The instantaneous heart rate, QT interval, QTc interval are calculated from the recorded ECG. In addition, HRV analysis is performed as an indicator of cardiac autonomic function. The ECG is measured for 10 minutes before stimulation, 2 minutes during stimulation, and 15 minutes after stimulation, for a total of 27 minutes. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measurement of the finger plethysmogram: A pulse transducer (MP100, AD Instruments) is attached to the tip of the right index finger to record and calculate wave height values. Measurement of the local skin blood flow: A laser Doppler skin blood flow meter (ALF-21, Advance) is used to fix the probe near the stimulation site and record the results. The finger plethysmogram and the local skin blood flow are measured for 10 minutes before stimulation, 2 minutes during stimulation, and 15 minutes after stimulation, for a total of 27 minutes. Assessment of the type of pain: The presence or absence of "pain" or "de qi" during the stimulation will be assessed after the end of the experiment. Evaluation of the degree of pain: The intensity of the "pain" or "de qi" is assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) of 10 cm in width, respectively, with 100 points as the most intense pain on a scale of every 1 mm, and 0 as the scale indicating no pain. | — |
