Summary

This is a single blind randomised controlled trial involving healthy volunteers to determine feasibility and blinding property of two types of sham press needles.

Detailed description

A total of 84 healthy volunteers will be recruited and randomly allocated to receive real needles (RN), previously validated Kim Sham needles (KS), or newly developed Ring Sham needles (RS) at a 1:1:1 ratio. Acupuncture sensation, blinding, and feasibility in a future clinical trial will be measured along with other physiological measurements including tactile sensitivity, interoceptive sensitivity, and electrodermal activity.
