Scope

Main Technical Content: Electroconductive Acupoint Assessment is a diagnostic method for meridian and acupoints based on the theory that the surface resistance of acupoints is in a low-resistance state. This method was pioneered by Reinhard Voll in Germany, who discovered that changes in surface resistance at specific locations on the skin could reflect the physiological and pathological conditions of many organs. In 1950, Japanese physician Yoshio Nakatani used a series-connected DC current meter to measure surface resistance and found that there were low-resistance points distributed in a specific pattern on the human skin. These points were connected to form 14 "conductive meridians", each of which had its representative "conductive points". These "conductive points" were similar in location to the 12 original acupoints. Subsequently, the Soviet Union developed this technology and introduced it to China. After years of research by domestic and international scholars on the acupoint resistance characteristics of healthy and diseased individuals using this measurement method, it was found that this assessment method can reflect the health status of the human meridian system, understand the function of the organs and blood, and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and disease intervention. Although electroconductive acupoint assessment has been widely accepted and applied by most TCM disease prevention centers, physical examination centers, and health care institutions, there are currently no unified operating norms or standards, which hinders the promotion and application of this technology and research exchange. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate operational and interpretation norms for electroconductive acupoint assessment in health status evaluation to enhance the scientificity and standardization of this method as a TCM health status assessment tool, and to provide reference standards for its promotion and application in TCM disease prevention.
