한의학의 뜸 요법은 잘 알려져 있으나, 현재까지도 쑥을 연소하여 시술하는 고전적 방식을 많이 사용하고 있다. 대체의학의 뜸 기기 개발에서, 뜸에서 반응하는 인체의 특징 및 요소들을 파악하는 것은 중요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 뜸 요법에 대한 뇌파변화를 고찰하고자, 자극을 가하지 않은 무자극 대상군과 간접 뜸 방식을 적용한 대상군으로 나누어, 뜸 자극에서 중요하게 여겨지는 관원(CV4), 신궐(CV8), 그리고 중완(CV12)의 경혈 점에 자극을 주어 뇌파 변화의 특징을 비교 분석하였다.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the effects of moxibustion on physiological indices, such as 24-hr blood pressure, pulse pressure, and pulse rate, and autonomic nervous symptoms among adults with prehypertension. Methods: Participants were adults whose systolic and diastolic blood pressures were in the prehypertension stage and were not under treatment for the condition. Both experimental and control group consisted of 13 participants who were taking classes on acupuncture and moxibustion at a private institute. The experimental group received moxibustion once a day for 15 min, at least 5 days a week for 8 weeks. The results were analyzed using $x^2$-test, t-test, Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon rank sum test and repeated measures ANOVA with the SAS program. Bonferroni correction method was adopted for multiple comparisons. Results: No significant change was observed in the 24-hr systolic and diastolic blood pressure between the two groups. Differences in the 24-hr pulse pressure and pulse rate were also not significant. However, significant decreases in headache, symptoms of flushing and fatigue were observed in the experimental group. Conclusion: The results suggest that moxibustion contributes to alleviating symptoms such as headache, flushing and fatigue associated with the autonomic nervous system among adults with prehypertension.

Purpose: This study was done for the purpose of testing the effects of hand moxibustion on pain in the knee joint, range of motion of the knee, and discomfort during ADL in elderly persons with knee joint pain. Method: Nonequivalent control group pre-post test research design was used. The participants were 35 elders who had knee joint pain. Sixteen were assigned to the experimental group and 19 to the control group. The instruments used for this study were the CRS (Graphic rating scale) for knee joint pain, goniometer for knee joint ROM, and modified ADL questionnaire developed by Lee. Analysis of data was done by percents, means and standard deviation, $x^2$-test, t-test, and ANCOVA using SPSS WIN 10.0. Result: The pain score for the right knee joint after hand moxibustion was significantly different between the experimental group and the control group after hand moxibustion (p=.035). The pain score for the left knee joint was not significantly different between the experimental group and the control group after hand moxibustion (p=.075). Right and left knee ROM scores were significantly different between the experimental group and the control group after hand moxibustion (Right p=.000, Left p=.034). Discomfort of ADL score was not significantly different between the experimental group and the control group after hand moxibustion (p=.053). Conclusion: In summary, knee joint pain in elders after hand moxibustion decreased and knee ROM in elders after hand moxibustion increased. So it would be useful for nurses to provide hand moxibustion as an alternative therapy to elders with knee joint pain in the community and thus reduce joint pain and increase knee ROM.

전통적인 뜸 요법은 시술자의 주관적이고 정성적인 치료로 인해 환자의 피부에 강한 열 자극이 가해져 심한 통증을 주거나 화상을 입히는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위한 대안으로 객관성과 정량화가 가능한 초음파를 활용한 뜸 자극 치료기술이 주목받고 있다. 하지만, 초음파 에너지를 열에너지로 변환하기 위해서는 초음파 치료기기의 음향렌즈에 따른 초음파 집속 특성 분석이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 초음파 집속 특성에 영향을 주는 음향렌즈의 형태(오목렌즈, 계단형 렌즈)에 따른 집속 시뮬레이션을 통해 각 렌즈의 음압 분포, 음압의 크기, 초점의 위치를 계산하였으며, 설계한 렌즈를 제작하여 음압 측정 실험을 통해 음향렌즈의 집속 성능을 검증하였다.
