Comparison of the effect of acupuncture in contra-group and ipsi-group. In this study, the acupuncture effect was post minus preacupuncture in contra-group or ipsi-group. The comparison result was the effect in the contra-group minus the effect in the ipsi-group. The threshold is set to p = 0.05 with 738 continuous voxels for whole brain with Gaussian Random Field (GRF) correction. Peak coordinates refer to the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) atlas. The bilateral Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC, MNI coordinates: −9, 33, 18, voxels: 793, peak intensity: 4.8894, which was extended to Thalamus, callosum, Supper and Medial Frontal Gyrus).

Abbreviation: ACC, anterior cingulate cortex.
