Changes in Electrical Skin Resistance at Gallbladder 34 (GB34)

Factors that influence ESRM results. These factors should be taken into account and need to be eliminated if ESRMs are to produce valid results.

Electrical skin resistance measurements (ESRMs): (A) ESRM array consisting of 64 electrodes on a 6 × 6 cm square plastic foil. (B) Screenshot of ESRM analyzing software, ESR values are indicated in colors and arbitrary units.

Graphical presentation of ESR at GB34: an example of a measurement with significantly lower electrical skin resistance (p = 0.0048). The areas of the AP G834 and the nearby ST36 are indicated by circles. ESR is indicated in color: low ESR values are blue and high ESR values are red.

Graphical presentation of ESR at GB34: an example of a measurement with significantly lower electrical skin resistance (p = 0.0048). The areas of the AP GB34 and the nearby ST36 are indicated by circles. Differences in ESR are shown by level curves.

Results of electrical skin resistance measurements (ESRMs): 81 ESRMs were evaluated. 15 showed a significantly lower and 12 a significantly higher ESR than the surrounding areas.
