Behavioral test of rats in each group at different time-point. A. Ipsilateral percent swelling of the paw of rats in each group at different time-point. The percent swelling of the paw was assessed by using plethymometer and water displacement method. The percent swelling of the paw was measured pre-injection and on day 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 after saline/CFA injection. All data are expressed as means±SEM, n=12. **P<0.01 vs. group Control. ▲ ▲ P<0.01 vs. group CFA. P<0.05, P<0.01 vs. group CFA+Sham EA. B. Ipsilateral paw withdrawal thresholds (PWTs) of rats in each group at different time-point. PWTs were assessed by using dynamic plantar aesthesiometer. PWTs were measured pre-injection and on day 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 after saline/CFA injection. All data are expressed as means±SEM, n=12. **P<0.01 vs. group Control. ▲ ▲ P<0.01 vs. group CFA. P<0.01 vs. group CFA+Sham EA.
