Box plots displaying the changes in mean heart rate (HR) of the 10 patients receiving needle acupuncture (a) and the 10 patients receiving laser acupuncture (b). HR had decreased significantly only after the last needle acupuncture session. The ends of the boxes define the 25th and 75th percentiles with a line at the median and error bars defining the 10th and 90th percentiles.
