  • To make a objective diagnosis of Dam Hun(痰暈), we investigated the 63 patients with Dam Hun(痰暈) and 34 normal people as control group. we compared the thermal difference between Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Gwan-won(CV4 關元) and we compared the thermal difference of Yang-mun(ST21 梁門), Chun_chu(ST25 天樞), Su-do(ST28 水道), too. All 63 patients had dizziness and GI trouble. They had the symptom - fatigue, nausea vomitting, head heaviness, indigestion, cold limbs, headache, heart burn, constipation, diarrhea, anorexia. And some had edema, numbness, insomnia, palpitation, facial flushing, dysuria, ringing. Considering the average temparature of Chon-jung(CV17 ), Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Gwan-won(CV4 關元), Yang-mun(ST21 梁門), Chun-chu(ST25 天樞), Su-do(ST28 水道) between the patients group and the control group, the patients group were lower than the control group except for Chon-jung(CV17 ), Gwan-won(CV4 關元), but the statistical significance was not. Considering the thermal difference of Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Gwan-won(CV4 關元), Yang-mun(ST21 梁門), Chun-chu(ST25 天樞), Su-do(ST28 氷道) between the patients group and the control group, the temparature deviation of Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Yang-mun(ST21 梁門) was significant. We suggest that coldness of upper abdomen is significant in diagnosis of Dam Hun(痰暈).
