Reducing the effects of driving fatigue with magnitopuncture stimulatuion Professor：Mr. liuyc Student：董瑩蟬

一、Purpose Assess the effects of reducing driving fatigue with magnitopuncture stimuli on Dazhui (DU14) point and Neigun (PC6) point

二、Reference

三、研究方法 (一)、Subject • Forty healthy subjects (20M、20F) • Two group：study and control • Mean age：S 26.6、C 28.2 (18-30) (二)、設備 • SANTANA2000 • 閃光融合儀EP403 • Electrocardiogram

三、研究方法 (三)、變項(between) • 自變項 study and control • 依變項 1.HR 2.RT 3.CFF 4.Subjective evaluation

三、研究方法 Vigilance task- Yoshihiro and masato, 1999

三、研究方法 (四)、procedure • 駕駛時間3hr、時速80km/h、consecutive days AM9：00 • 駕車兩小時後study group were applied to the DU14 point and PC6 point , control group non-acupuncture point during the same time

四、Results 1.HR

四、Results 2.RT&RR

Results 3.CFF

四、Results 4.Subject evaluation

五、Discussion • CFF reduction has significant difference between the two group after the task, control group were more tired. • Some success has been reported in relating it to fatigue (Kishida, 1973；Wolle et al.,1978)

五、Discussion • RT on control group is significant delay , the means on acupuncture points 可以維持大腦皮層的活動 • inferred provided magnitopuncture stimuli on DU14 point and PC6 points is effective in preventing the level of activity in the cerebral cortex from falling and in maintaining the driver’s ability to carry out selective reaction to information.

六、Conclusions • 不同acupuncture points的方法減少駕駛疲倦的影響，清楚證明生理及主觀的改變 • RT及CFF的改變可以說明stimuli on DU14 points及PC point 可以減少駕駛疲倦的結果
