Scales	Group A (n = 30)	Group B (n = 30)	MD (95%CI)	P-value
SDS	43.20 (12.64)	41.87 (11.16)	1.33 (− 4.83, 7.50)	0.667
SAS	39.47 (10.85)	38.00 (9.59)	1.47 (− 3.83, 6.76)	0.581

Independent sample T test was used for comparing differences between groups to obtain P-values. Group A: Long-snake-like moxibustion for 60 min; Group B: Long-snake-like moxibustion for 30 min; Data were presented as Mean (SD)

SD standard deviation; MD mean difference; 95% CI 95% Confidence Interval; SDS Self-rating Depression Scale; SAS Self-Rating Anxiety Scale
