Interventions

OTHER

Systemic acupuncture

Systemic acupuncture will be performed on the lower limb, bilaterally, at points E36 (Zusanli) and BP6 (Sanyinjiao). Point location specificity will be determined using the anatomical and directional F-cun reference method. Stimulation of pre-defined points will be performed using needles with a threadlike, sterile, disposable character and size 0.25 x 30.0 mm, within a period of 20 minutes. The insertion of the needle will be at a depth of 0.5 inches, aiming to obtain the De Qi, sensation of energy at the point and in the corresponding meridian, referring to the effectiveness of systemic acupuncture.
