Comparison of having a blood test in earlobe and thumb acupuncture
Though Manchester royal Dr. Simon Carley of hospital of England is a doctor of an emergency ward, still have a kind of sense of fear to detest having an injection until now when but from children, hear, fetch blood when agony less from earlobe, he begins to study this kind of statement and have abundant basis immediately. Now, according to choosing the manifestation of blood and 30 persons who choose the blood from acupuncture of thumb from earlobe to 30, it is relatively light that the earlobe fetches the blood agony. Carley thinks this is encouraging to patient who needs to carry on diabetic test. They should be fetched a small amount of blood by the medical-care worker three times a day and made glucose to test within several weeks sometimes. In addition it is a good thing to the patient having a blood test in emergency ward and doctor's office. But need to fetch the diabetic that the blood tested to those regularly, the earlobe may not be an ideal choice. The patient can not see one's own earlobe, they need a mirror, then will crowd and pinch the earlobe in order to expell the blood, this is cumbersome. In fact, the Boston subsidiary Joslin diabetic centre registered nurse's educators Joyce Lekarcyk of Harvard University think, to the diabetic needing to fetch the blood specimen by oneself frequently, this kind of method is impracticable. Usually, if choose the earlobe, is generally fetched the blood for the patient by others. It is more difficult and let the patient fetch the blood by oneself on condition that see. According to test result of Carley, from the intersection of finger and the intersection of person of blood fetched and very painful general response, have, give while being similar from the intersection of earlobe and person of blood fetched. But Carley emphasizes, experimental subjects are mainly patients over 16. So also need further experiment, in order to find those fear acupuncture most - children's response to these two kinds of methods. The experiment place is Hope hospital of English Sarr Ford, researchers think, the density of the receptor of sense of pain of earlobe position may be lower than the thumb position. In addition, the sense of pain is more lightly there may be other reasons. "If you see others using acupuncture, you, psychologically you will think of pain. You can see acupuncture thumb, but it is ear-piercing to see the needle to hang down" . 123 websites offer health exclusively, if want to reprint, please indicate the source
