Abstract

목적 : 본 연구는 간접구의 안전성에 대한 기초 데이터를 확보하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구설계 : 50명의 건강한 성인을 무작위 배정으로 두 그룹으로 나누어 4주간 (일주일에 3회) 신궐혈과 관원혈에 뜸을 시술하였다. 시험군에 비하여 대조군은 열이 전달되지 않도록 단열제로 처리한 뜸으로 동일한 부위에 시술하였다. 첫 시술 1시간 전과 마지막 시술 1시간 후에 공복상태에서 채혈을 하여 혈액학적 검사를 시행하였다. 결과 : 혈액학적 검사에서 적혈구와 총 백혈구 및 백혈구의 종류별 절대수치와 상대수치에서 두 그룹 간에 특별한 차이가 없었다. 또한 혈청학적 검사에서 총 단백질, 알부민, AST, ALT, ALP, GGT, LDH, 요소질소, 크레아티닌, 총콜레스테롤 및 중성지방의 비교에서도 그룹 간에 차이가 없었다. 결론 : 본 연구는 건강한 사람에서 간접구의 시행 후 혈액학적 안전성을 처음으로 보고하는 것으로서, 향후 뜸의 연구를 수행시 중요한 비교 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
