Figure 2

(a)–(d) Line graphs showing the effects of acupuncture treatment at two different acupoints. Patients were randomized into the treatment group (n = 28), receiving acupuncture at acupoint PC7 (diamonds), and the control group (n = 25), receiving acupuncture at acupoint LI4 (squares). Values are mean ± SEM taken at different time points. T0, just prior to the first treatment; T1, after the first treatment and just prior to the second treatment; T9, after the ninth treatment just prior to the tenth treatment; 1 M, 1 month post-treatment; and so forth. Crosses and empty triangles indicate statistical significant differences compared with T0 in the PC7 group and the LI4 group, respectively (P < .05; one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test). Stars indicate statistical significant differences between the PC7 and LI4 groups at a given time point using a multivariate general linear model, with baseline values as covariate (P < .05, with Bonferroni correction).
