简要总结

The aim of this study is to investigate brain response and connectivity changes evoked by video-guided acupuncture imagery treatment (VGAIT) and verum and sham acupuncture in knee osteoarthritis patients to elucidate the underlying brain mechanisms of mind-body interaction, imagery, and acupuncture.

结局指标

主要结局

fMRI Signal Increases

时间窗: Collected once during the first treatment session

fMRI measures changes in brain activity by detecting fluctuations in blood oxygenation levels. The primary signal used in fMRI is the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal, which reflects neuronal activity indirectly through hemodynamic responses.

次要结局

  • PAG Resting State Connectivity(baseline and after one month treatment)
