Besides our four main research questions, there are more research findings worth mentioning: comparisons between acupuncture and other stimulations; comparisons of acupuncture under different consciousness states;
acupuncture at different time points; acupuncture at group of points; acupuncture effect correlated to expectation.
One study from Zeng et al. [130] compared
acupuncture at KI3 and KI7
at two
different time points — «open
point time» and «closed
point time» (the open or closed
time point is determined by the Chinese medicine theory «Zi - Wu - Liu - Zhu» — the body's Qi and blood circulation schedule;
acupuncture at the open
point time results in maximum clinical effect and vice versa)[1].
