简要总结
Objective: Evaluating the behavior of skin temperature through infrared thermography after application of acupuncture and electroacupuncture in Weizhong (B40) and Kunlun (B60) acupunctures points. Methods: A single-blind randomized clinical trial was performed with 54 participants of both sexes, mean of 21.88±2.53 years, randomized into three groups (n=18): electroacupuncture (EAG), acupuncture (AG) and control (CG). The application was bilateral in the acupoints (B60 and B40), for 20 minutes. The skin temperature of the lower limbs was measured at the following times: before application, 10 minutes of application, 20 minutes of application and 10 minutes after needle removal.

Skin temperature
时间窗: 30 minutes after the first assessment (P30)
Skin temperature was evaluated by infrared thermography using a thermal camera, brand FLIR® Systems (T300, Wilsonville, OR, USA), and accuracy of up to 0.05º C, with emissivity of 0.98 being established and the instrument stabilized for 10 minutes before the exam. Three infrared images were captured in sequence at a distance of 100 cm from the individual, in order to allow the framing of the evaluated limb \[20\].
