We have analysed systematically the clinical features of linear pains along certain channels that showed sensory alteration in 95 patients. We have found that there existed no relations between such pains and the anatomical location of relevant nerves and blood vessels. Further, such pains were also different from the sensory disturbance and certain regular skin hyper-sensibility (Head zone) due to illness of the viscera. According to the theory of channels, we put forward the term "Sensory Disorder along Particular Channel" for its definition.
Out of the 95 cases there were 76 male patients and 19 female. The ages of the majority (86 cases, 90.53%) ranged from 21 to 49 years old. The shortest and the longest durations of the disease were 2 days and 15 years, with 68.42% cases of 6 months to 3 years.
Among the cases were 91 cases of pains running along the channels and 4 cases having sensory alteration. During the observation, the phenomenon of pain along the channels was produced 159 times and in general, most of the cases (about 56.84%) 2 times, but at least once or 12 at most for each case.
49 cases (51.58%) had the "Sensory Disorder along Particular Channel" unilaterally, 30 cases (31.58%) bilaterally, 10 cases (10.52%) along the Du Mai, 6 cases (6.32%) along both Ren Mai and Du Mai. 29 cases (30.53%) -- including 16 cases which ran through the whole channel, 13 cases ran partially along -- ran along the superficial and inner side at the same time. 17 cases (17.89%) ran along the same named channels. In most of the cases (48.28%), two channels joined together at the head and at the end of the limbs. In 65 (40.88%) out of 195 times of manifestations, "Sensory Disorder along Particular Channels" ran along the whole process of the pertaining channels, 82 times (51.57%) partial process and 12 times (7.54) over process.
Moreover, we have found that in 44 cases (46.31%) not only the sensory pains and sensory alteration might develop along the relevant channels, other manifestations (in the body, the viscera and the nerve center) might also appear, and that each channel had a certain connection with the relevant organ, inducing a group of certain clinical manifestations.
Finally, a possible pathogenesis of the Sensory Disorder along Particular Channel was discussed in this article.
