Comparison of cerebral oxygen saturation between 2 groups (χ ± s).
| Time | Group | Group C (n = 43) | Group EA (n = 40) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | Left | 58.22 ± 5.72 | 59.17 ± 5.52 | .374 |
| Right | 59.17 ± 4.98 | 59.55 ± 5.41 | .525 | |
| T2 | Left | 66.28 ± 6.03* | 74.68 ± 6.42*,# | .008 |
| Right | 66.92 ± 6.15* | 75.24 ± 6.64*,# | .027 | |
| T3 | Left | 74.58 ± 6.81* | 83.29 ± 7.78*,# | .016 |
| Right | 75.14 ± 6.93* | 84.12 ± 7.89*,# | .021 |
EA = electro-acupuncture, T1 = 0 min before EA treatment, T2 = 0 min after EA treatment, T3 = 8 weeks after EA treatment.
