Acupuncture needles
Device1. Experimental group: Sterile stainless steel needle electroacupuncture treatment was applied, and the acupuncture points were as follows: bilateral Zusanli (ST36), Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), Shaoshang (LU11), and Feng Long (ST40). 1 time a day, 30 minutes each time, for 7 days. 2. Control group: Placebo needles were applied, and the acupuncture points were as follows: bilateral Zusanli (ST36), Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), Shaoshang (LU11), and Feng Long (ST40). 1 time a day, 30 minutes each time, for 7 days.
