Article Synopsis
- Cold hypersensitivity in the hands and feet (CHHF) is a common condition causing discomfort, and this study aimed to explore alternative treatments like electroacupuncture (EA) and acupuncture (AC) compared to no treatment (control).
- A randomized controlled trial with 72 women assessed the effectiveness of these treatments using various measures like pain scores and quality of life assessments before, after, and at follow-up.
- Results indicated significant improvements in pain and quality of life for both EA and AC groups, with EA showing more lasting benefits than AC or the control group.
