Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Treatment group
In the treatment group, the Park needle with a real acupuncture will be penetrated in an appropriate angle into a depth of 10-15 mm. Acupuncture manually manipulated by lifting, thrusting, and twirling methods to produce a characteristic sensation known as "De Qi" (feeling of needle sensation refers to tenseness around the needle felt by the practitioner and numbness, distension, soreness, and heaviness around the point felt by the patient), and needles will be stimulated manually at least 10 s, then the needles will be retained for 30 minutes.

Control group
In the control group, the Park sham needle will instead of the real needle. It is retractile and adopts the sleeve type blunt needle design. When the blunt needle goes through the adhesive and contact with skin, it will move back into the hollow centre of the handle rather than penetrate into skin. The sham needle may be manipulated by lifting, thrusting or twirling as the real one, but it will not insert into the skin authentically.
