Nerve discharges throughout acupuncture stage. (a) Nerve discharges of all twisting and retaining stages versus base discharges mean in ACU group. (b) Nerve discharges of all twisting and retaining stages versus base discharges mean in Saline + ACU group. (c) Nerve discharges of all twisting and retaining stages versus base discharges mean in DSCG + ACU group. (d) Nerve discharges of 5 independent twisting and retaining stages versus base discharges mean in ACU group. (e) Nerve discharges of 5 independent twisting and retaining stages versus base discharges mean in Saline + ACU group. (f) Nerve discharges of 5 independent twisting and retaining stages versus base discharges mean in DSCG + ACU group. P = 0.002 (a), P = 0.025 (b), and P = 0.461 (c) when comparing the twisting-retaining discharges ratio in respective group ((a), (b), and (c), paired T-test). P = 0.227, P = 0.020, and P = 0.036 when comparing the twisting-retaining discharges ratio in the whole acupuncture stage ((a) versus (b), (a) versus (c), and (b) versus (c), independent sample T-test), P < 0.05 when comparing the twisting-retaining discharges ratio in any one of five independent stage ((d) versus (e), (d) versus (f), and (e) versus (f), independent sample T-test). Ordinate is the average of 10 s of all animals in one group comparing to the mean at base stage with “1” representing the mean value of nerve discharges in base stage (vertical lines indicate the SEM).
