Figure 1 Comparison of the abdominal withdrawal reflex scores of the rats in each group.
Under colorectal distension stimulation at the same strength; bP < 0.01 vs NG; dP < 0.01 vs MG; fP < 0.01 vs EA. NG: Normal group; MG: Model group; EA: Electroacupuncture group; S-EA: Sham EA group; AWR: Abdominal withdrawal reflex.

NG: Normal group; MG: Model group; EA: Electroacupuncture group; S-EA: Sham EA group.
Figure 3 Corticotropin-releasing hormone content in the spinal cord and hypothalamus of the rats in each group.
aP < 0.05 vs NG; bP < 0.01 vs MG; cP < 0.05 vs EA. NG: Normal group; MG: Model group; EA: Electroacupuncture group; S-EA: Sham EA group.
