One hundred healthy consenting women undergoing lower abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to four treatment regimens: Group I (n=25), control; II sham-EA (needle insertion without electrical stimulation); III low-EA (2 Hz IV high-EA (100 stimulation). EA groups received needle...
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) has been defined as a regional characterized by muscle caused myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) clinically. MTrP is the hyperirritable spot in palpable taut band of skeletal fibers. Appropriate treatment to MTrPs can effectively relieve clinical MPS.

This study investigated the sensitivity of common fit indices (i.e., RMSEA, CFI, TLI, SRMR-W, and SRMR-B) for detecting misspecified multilevel SEMs. The design factors Monte Carlo were numbers groups in between-group models (100, 150, 300), group size (10, 20, 30, 60), intra-class correlation (low, medium, high), types model misspecification (Simple Complex). simulation results showed that RMSEA could only identify within-group model. Additionally, more sensitive to pattern coefficients...
