Acupuncture De Qi in Stable Somatosensory Stroke Patients: Relations with Effective Brain Network for Motor Recovery

Figure 4

Cross subject correlation between the “in + out” degree of brain areas and MGH Acupuncture Sensation Scale (MASS) for stroke patients. For stroke patients, the MASS and “in + out” degree of the right premotor cortex (rM1) presented the significantly positive relation (𝑟=0.72, 𝑃<0.05, 𝑛=9), while the significant negative correlation was mainly exhibited in the “in + out” degree of the anterior inferior cerebellum (𝑟=−0.79, 𝑃<0.05, 𝑛=9).
