Data Sheet 1_Needle-warming moxibustion alleviates pain in rats with cervical spondylotic

A study investigating the effects of needle-warming moxibustion on cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. The dataset includes experimental results from a rat model and clinical data from 100 human patients, collected by Bing Li and last updated in May 2026. It contains measurements of pain thresholds, inflammatory cytokines, gait scores, and patient-reported outcomes.

Use Cases

• Analyze the correlation between inflammatory markers and pain scores based on ELISA results and Visual Analogue Scale scores.
• Model the effect of an intervention on motor function based on gait scores and mechanical pain thresholds.
• Investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and pain mediators based on ROS levels and Substance P/Prostaglandin E2/Neuropeptide Y protein expression.

Strengths

• Includes data from a controlled animal model and a human clinical cohort of 100 patients.
• Measures multiple pain and inflammation dimensions, including behavioral thresholds, cytokine levels, and tissue staining.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description is detailed but the actual data structure within the 7.8 MB ZIP file is unspecified.
