简要总结

The hypotheses of this study are: In the older population with knee OA,

  • When acupoints are chosen for both sleep and pain, there are additive effects on sleep improvement and pain relief (i.e. no interaction).
  • Main effects of acupuncture on sleep improvement and pain relief are anticipated when acupoints are separately targeted for sleep and for pain, respectively.
