Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Electroacupuncture (EA)
Acupoint regimen: Hegu (LI4), Neiguan (PC6), Zusanli (ST36), Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Sishencong (EX-HN1). Electrical stimulation using an EA apparatus, with a pair of electrodes connecting acupoints LI4 with PC6, and another pair of electrodes connecting ST36 with SP6. EA stimulation will last for 15 min with a continuous wave of 2 Hz and a current intensity of 0.1-1 mA.
Electroacupuncture (EA)
Acupuncture at Hegu (LI4), Neiguan (PC6), Zusanli (ST36), Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Sishencong (EX-HN1). Electrical stimulation with a pair of electrodes connecting on LI4/PC6 and ST36/SP6.
Laser acupuncture (LA)
Participants allocated to the LA group will receive LA therapy at the same acupoints used in EA group. The laser will be applied to each point for 40 seconds, which delivered 3 J of energy at each of the acupoints.
Laser acupuncture (LA)
The laser applies to each point for 40 seconds, which delivers 3 J of energy at each of the acupoints as those in electroacupuncture group.
Sham laser acupuncture (SLA)
Participants in the control group will receive sham LA treatment without any laser output. The acupuncture points, application duration, and total number of treatments are the same as those in the LA group.
Sham laser acupuncture (SLA)
The laser device without any laser output applies on the acupoints the same as those in the LA group.
