Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
LA group
The subjects in the experimental group will receive 0.375 J of energy at each of the following acupoints: LI4 (Hegu, B3), PC6 (Neiguan, B3), ST25 (Tianshu, B3), ST36 (Zusanli, B2), CV4 (Guanyuan), CV12 (Zhongwan, B3).
Laser acupuncture
Laser acupuncture is a non-invasive therapy that involves stimulation of traditional acupoints with low-intensity, non-thermal laser irradiation.
Control group
The subjects in the control group will receive sham LA treatment, without any laser output (no stimulation) at the same acupoints used in experimental group.
