Abstract

We have applied the measurement of electrical resistance (ER) of acupuncture points (AP) as method of control during computerized electroacupuncture (CEAP) treatment of patients with bronchial asthma. In this paper we analyze the dynamics of auricular AP electric resistance of 78 patients with bronchial asthma during 5 everyday seances of CEAP. It turned out that the change of ER within one seance of CEAP treatment is closely related to initial resistance of AP and quantity of seances
