Objective To explore the application and significance of front-mu point in clinical diagnosis.Methods Modern research papers on the physical property of front-mu point were reviewed in China Academic Journal Full-text Database. Front-mu points

the physical property and the application to diseases of different systems

which were mentioned in papers included

were calculated and analyzed by literature metrology methods. Results Totally

26 papers were included

with 9 front-mu points

including 4 Zang-viscera front-mu points of Zhongfu（ LU1）

Juque（ RN14）

Qimen（ LR14） and Dhozhong（ RN17）

as well as 5 Fu-viscera front-mu points of Zhongwan（ RN12）

Riyue（ GB24）

Tianshu（ ST25）

Zhongji（ RN3） and Guanyuan（ RN4）. As for physical property

papers on thermal characteristic were the most（ 13 papers

50. 00%）

mainly involving Zhongwan（ RN12）

Zhongfu（ LU1） and Tianshu（ ST25）

as well as bronchial asthma

primary dysmerrhea

etc. Papers on optical characteristics were 8（ 30. 77%）

mainly involving Qimen（ LR14） and Danzhong（ RN17）

as well as hyperplasia of mammary glands

etc. Papers on electrical property were 4（ 15. 38%）

mainly involving Guanyuan（ RN4） and Zhongji（ RN3）

as well as primary dysmerrhea

etc. Papers on positive reaction were 3（ 11. 54%）

mainly involving Zhongwan（ RN12） and heart diseases. Conclusion Front-mu points might have the characteristic of reflecting diseases of related Zang-fu viscera. The changes of physical property might have value in the diagnosis of diseases.
