Multidimensional Aspects of de qi Sensations in MASS and ASQ Assessment: A Pilot Study

Figure 5

Correlational analysis between the items of Acupuncture Sensation Questionnaire (ASQ) and Massachusetts General Hospital Acupuncture Sensation Scale (MASS) (). Each circle represents a correlation between the categories from ASQ and MASS. The size of the circle reflects Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients. Darker colors indicate lower values. Correlations with Spearman’s correlation coefficient over 0.4 were presented. MASS and ASQ showed strong correlations in certain analogous descriptors.
