There was a significantly greater reduction noted in Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) scores in the real electroacupuncture group versus the sham electroacupuncture group after adjusting for baseline RMDQ score. Effective coping at baseline was associated with greater RMDQ score reduction, while White race was associated with worse PROMIS and RMDQ scores &#8212; both within the real electroacupuncture group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If validated, these findings may help match people to treatment,&#8221; the authors write. &#8220;For example, low scores on the coping strategies questionnaire could identify individuals who may need psychological intervention alone or as an augmentation to electroacupuncture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2772250\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Abstract\/Full Text<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Physician&#8217;s Briefing Staff<\/p>\n<p class=\"credits\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"MedicalNews\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/images.medicinenet.com\/images\/HealthDay\/healthday.png\" style=\"border: none;\"\/><br \/>Copyright \u00a9 2020 HealthDay.
