title: [A study of the thermosensitivity determination for the normal value of the twelve well-point (or jing-point)].
abstract: Under certain temperature and humidity, the thermosensitivity values of the twelve Well-point, on 209 healthy young people, selected at random/and aged from 20 to 24, were measured in the morning and in the afternoon respectively. The statistical results show that there is no significance (P > 0.05), when the value of one Well-point on upper limbs of the male is compared with that of the female, except very few well-point. The value of one Well-point on both the left side and the right side measured at the time are almost the same. The value of one Well-point on the lower limbs of the male is higher than that of the female, and the difference is significant (P < 0.05). This study indicates that the normal values of every Well-point exist in human beings, which will assist clinical diagnosis.
