S100β Levels in CSF of Nonambulatory Dogs with Intervertebral Disk Disease Treated with Electroacupuncture

Table 1

Functional numeric scale (mean ± SD) at different time points, per group.

Time point	M1	M2	M3
EA group (𝑛=10)	10.0±4.1^a	20.0±4.6^b	22.5±3.8^c
Subgroup A (𝑛=7)	11.2±0.6^a,A	21.5±1.2^b	23.8±2.1^b
Subgroup B (𝑛=3)	7.0±4.3^a,A	16.3±8.0^b	19.6±5.7^b

a--cMeans with different superscripts within the same row are significantly different (𝑃<0.05). ^A-BMeans with different superscripts within the same column are significantly different (𝑃<0.05). M1 = first evaluation prior to EA treatment; M2 = when the dogs return ambulation without assistance; M3 = last evaluation. EA group = treated by electroacupuncture and Subgroups A and B = early and late motor recovery, respectively.
