Study Arms (3)
sham electroacupuncture (EA) session
PLACEBO COMPARATORThe stainless steels acupuncture needles inserted into the subcutaneous layer of Zusanli (cathode) and Shangjuxu acupints (anion) , and the needles connected to EA stimulator, but no electric discharge for 30 min.
Zusanli session
EXPERIMENTALThe acupuncture needles inserted into Zusanli (cathode) and Shangjuxu acupoints (anion), and twisting obtain qi, and the needles then connected to EA stimulator, the frequency was 2 Hz, the duration was 30 min, and the intensity was visual slightly muscle contraction.
Shaohai session
EXPERIMENTALThe methods were identical Zusanli group, but Shaohai acupoint (cathode), and 3 cm below Shaohai (anion).
