"Exploring the Distribution Patterns and Infrared Characteristics of Force-sensitive Acupoints in Different Lumbar Nerve Segments in Patients With LDH Based on Press Quickly Theory"

A well-trained physician donned the Finger TPS tactile pressure measurement system (Finger TPS II, BTLETG03, USA), methodically applying a consistent 60N force with a single thumb vertically downward on the acupoints of the L1 to L5 spinal segments, in accordance with the human cutaneous nerve segment map. Additionally, environmental conditions were meticulously controlled-temperature maintained between 20°C to 25°C, relative humidity at 50% to 60%, with gentle indoor lighting, quiet, and stable airflow. The MESH T-1000 Smart medical infrared thermograph, produced by Wuhan Gewu Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., was utilized to assess the surface temperature of the patient's pressure-sensitive acupoint areas.
