Non-linear characteristic of acupoint resistance and its application[J]. Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion, 2023, 43(2): 171-174.DOI: 10.13703/j.0255-2930.20220424-0001.
Acupoint specificity is a key scientific issue in acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupoint electric resistance is a commonly-used biophysical index to study the functional specificity of acupoints. The non-linear characteristics of acupoint electric resistance have great impacts on the measured values
but it has been greatly ignored. By analyzing the non-linear characteristics of acupoint resistance and its application in the study of acupoint function specificity
a new idea of introducing chaos theory and technology into the study of acupoint function is proposed.
