Catgut will be embedding in acupoints as below. Acupoints: Qihai (REN-6), Shuifen (REN-9), bilateral Shuidao (ST-28),bilateral Siman (K-14) ,zusanli(ST-26) Frequency: one time per week Duration: 6 weeks
The stainless-steel acupuncture needles (3.8cm long) was inserted into 23 gouge needle as plunger without chromic catgut in front of the syringe needle. All the procedure will be performed as in catgut embedding group. Acupoints: Qihai (REN-6), Shuifen (REN-9), bilateral Shuidao (ST-28),bilateral Siman (K-14) ,zusanli(ST-26) The other procedure were the same as catgut embedding group Frequency: one time per week Duration: 6 weeks
An extensive form of acupuncture that involves weekly infixing self-absorptive chromic catgut sutures into acupoints with a specialised needle under antiseptic precautions. The catgut then stimulate those points over a long period. The stainless-steel acupuncture needles (3.8cm long) was inserted into 23 gouge needle as plunger with chromic catgut in front of the syringe needle. Catgut will be embedding in acupoints as below. Acupoints: Qihai (REN-6), Shuifen (REN-9), bilateral Shuidao (ST-28),bilateral Siman (K-14) ,zusanli(ST-26)
