After month's treatment, showed significant improvements in (in both groups) eight treatment as compared baseline (P = 0.0078 <0.0001); group has better all outcome measures < 0.0001 except SDS 0.0005)). Improvements symptoms persist during follow-up (better group). Acupuncture manual had effects improving status, life FD. These may be related increased speed waves secretion.
