Ten minutes after acupuncture stimulation to shou-san-li, the flow values increased in 7, and decreased in 1 out of 13 patients (p<0.05). Patient group showed significantly lower values than normals (p<0.01). The mean of laser-Doppler flow values in fingertips at room temperature 23☌ was 4.83 (V) in normals (n=11), 2.82 (V) in patients (n=14). The digital pitting scars and Raynaud's phenomenon were observed in all the patients. The response to acupuncture stimulation to shou-san-li was recorded in 8 patients with PSS and 6 patients with SLE. Laser-Doppler velocimetry was used to evaluate the effects of acupuncture stimulation on peripheral circulation disturbance in patients with collagen disease, progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Present data suggest that the low energy laser irradiation to patients with PSS or SLE who suffered from circulation disturbance is effective. Ten minutes after the laser irradiation, the LDV flow values increased significantly (p<0.5). The low energy of 10mW laser was irradiated for 1 minute at each acupuncture points, and LDV flow values ware recorded in fingertips at room temperature 25☐.5☌. Using a commercially available LDV flometer (Periflux, Perimed KB, Sweden), the response to laser irradiation at the acupuncture points of Tian zhu, Feng chi, Jian jing, Shou san li, Jing qu, He gu, Stellate ganglion, was recorded in 4 patients with PSS and 6 with SLE. Laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) was used to evaluate the effects of low energy laser irradiation on peripheral circulation disturbance in patients with collagen diseases, progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
