Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study includes random completion of 3 groups of participants : zonal acupuncture, control group, balance acupuncture approximately 20 participants each.
The zonal acupuncture group will receive a treatment according to a zonal method and a pain level will be estimated by the investigator according to a visual analog pain scale (VAS) before and 10 minutes and 15 minutes after the beginning of the treatment and the change of the pain level will be recorded. If possible the pain level will be measured again approximately 24 hours after the treatment and the change of the pain level will be again recorded.
The control group will provide only the estimation of the the pain level according to a visual analog pain scale (VAS) but receive no acupuncture treatment. Then if possible the pain level will be measured again approximately 24 hours after the first measurement and the change of the pain level will be recorded for a control group too.
The balance acupuncture group will receive a treatment according to a balance method, and a pain level will be estimated according to a visual analog pain scale (VAS) before and 10 minutes and 15 minutes after the beginning of the treatment and the change of the pain level will be recorded. If possible the pain level will be measured again approximately 24 hours after the treatment and the change of the pain level will be again recorded.
These measurements are primary outcome of the experiment. Provided statistically consistent they will be treated to extract method efficiency estimation.
The participants from all tree groups may receive drug analgesia at some recorded moment of time before the procedure, however the investigators want to investigate the effect of acupuncture analgesia at the time when no other analgesia effect is present, so the investigators can exclude possible interference.
