Data analysis chart. A. We will divide the three electroacupuncture (EA) groups into four different stages to screen separately for the stage where the EA intervention will be most effective. B. We will divide all patients into four stages and compare the effects of strong, weak and sham EA separately within the different stages. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC) function, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Emotional Scale (ES), Present Pain Intensity (PPI), range of motion (ROM) will be measured by the procedure outlined in the chart.
