Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Electro-acupuncture | Electro-acupuncture (EA) at bilateral ST25, SP14 ,and ST37. Additionally, bilateral BL33 was used for severe straining if any; DU20 and DU24 were used for patients with anxiety and depression if any.~EA treatment was lasted for 30 min, and EA treatment was taken 5 times/week for the first 2 weeks, and 3 times/week for the next 6 weeks. Each treatment cycle will include 28 sessions for continuous 8 weeks.~After the EA treatment is stopped, the participants will be followed up for 24 weeks. | 1 | 277 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Prucalopride | Prucalopride Succinate was taken orally, 2mg/day in the morning before breakfast for continuous 8 weeks.~Participants took electrocardiograph (ECG) at day 7 of the 8th week. Participants would take prucalopride for additional 24 weeks if no significant ECG changes (such as prolonged QT intervals) showed. | 0 | 278 | EG001 |
