Acupuncture Differentially Affects the High-Frequency Spectral Energy in Radial Pulse Positions Depending on Type of Lower Back Pain

Figure 1

The study flow diagram and study procedure. All enrolled patients underwent a baseline assessment of the radial pulse spectral energy (SE) and the vital signs and the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) test. The study applied the Health Status Questionnaire, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CCMQ). The SE, vital signs, and fingertip-to-floor (FTF) test were assessed during the pre- and postinterventions.
