Clustering analysis of four states in chronic tinnitus patients before and after acupuncture. (A) Four states (centroids) from clustering analysis. The total number (in brackets) and proportion of occurrences are listed above each state. (B) Elbow criterion. The arrow represents the optimal k value. k, the number of clusters; Cluster validity index, calculating as the ratio of within-cluster distance to between-cluster distance. (C) Comparison of TP within chronic tinnitus patients before and after acupuncture. FR, other regions of frontal lobe; PR, parietal regions; OR, occipital regions; PFR, prefrontal regions; SUB, subcortex regions; TP, transition probability; TR, temporal regions. *P < 0.05.
