We demonstrated the modulate effect of moxibustion on spinal reflexes in rats using magnetic coil stimulation. A figure-eight coil with a maximum magnetic strength of 2.2 Tesla produced magnetic stimulation. The magnetic stimulation was applied to the L4-L5 vertebrae, and EMGs from the two flexor (tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius) muscles were recorded. EMG responses were composed of three components, M- (latency, 1.1 msec), F- (latency, 1.6 msec) and H-responses (latency, 3.7 msec) in both muscles. With the increase of magnetic stimuli, the relative amplitudes and disappearances of the H- and M- responses in postmoxibustion were comparable with the ordinary H- and M-responses in pre-moxibustion. Moxibustion at the L4-L5 vertebrae during 5 min was made indirectly with an 8-mm allowance from the skin. After indirect moxibustion, the H-reflex gain of the tibialis anterior muscle was facilitated more than that of the gastrocnemius muscle, as shown by recruitment curves in the H- and M-responses. Those indicated differences of moxibustinal effects between the flexor muscles. The observed data were consistent with our expectation that moxibustion would induced a decrease in Renshaw inhibitory neuron activity and an increase in the activities of group la neurons which receive afferent input due to thermal stimulation. These results suggested that there was appropriate stimulus position for moxibustion's facilitating effect.
