Table 3.

Data for participants who had a significant improvement in visual function [i.e., change (Δ) outside of test-retest variability listed in table 1 or qCSF ROC value ≥97.5%] at both post-treatment (post-tx) assessments following TES or electro-acupuncture (EA). Also listed are these participants’ characteristics, such as age in years, self-reported onset age of initial symptoms of nyctalopia or night vision loss in years, self-reported onset age of initial indications of visual field (VF) loss in years, female (F) or male (M) gender, and presumed genetic mutation inheritance type based on family history of RP (i.e., AD: autosomal dominant, AR: autosomal recessive).
