The altered fALFF in brain regions of N-Acu group after 5-weeks acupuncture
| Brain regions | BA | Side | Cluster size | MNI | t-value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | Y | Z | |||||
| Superior Frontal Gyrus | L | 34 | −21 | 63 | 3 | 4.63 | |
| Superior Frontal Gyrus | 10 | R | 364 | 21 | 60 | 6 | 5.38 |

| Insula | 13 | L | 30 | −33 | 21 | 6 | 4.16 |

| Middle Frontal Gyrus | 46 | R | 83 | 42 | 24 | 24 | 4.44 |
| Inferior Frontal Gyrus | 9 | R | 51 | 57 | 6 | 36 | 5.09 |
The anatomical locations, approximate Brodmann areas (BA) and MNI coordinates that corresponded to the t-values of the representative peaks within each cluster were reported. A positive t-value means that fALFF was increased in this brain region after acupuncture treatment. All regions reached a voxel-level significance threshold of P < 0.001, FWE correct P = 0.05, cluster size> 30
