Table 1_Acupuncture plus wet cupping therapy for post stroke depression: a randomized cont

A randomized controlled trial from China involving 130 patients with mild-to-moderate post-stroke depression, comparing acupuncture plus wet cupping therapy to acupuncture alone. The dataset includes clinical depression scale scores and hematological indicators measured at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up, published by author Dong Li in 2026. It contains results for 118 patients who completed the trial.

Use Cases

• Compare treatment efficacy between intervention groups based on Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) scores.
• Analyze correlations between clinical depression scores and inflammatory biomarkers like interleukin levels.
• Investigate changes in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis markers such as cortisol and ACTH following therapy.
• Model longitudinal patient outcomes using repeated measures from baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up time points.

Strengths

• Data originates from a randomized controlled trial with 130 enrolled patients and 118 completers, providing a structured clinical study context.
• Includes multiple validated clinical assessment scales (HAMD-24, SDS, NIHSS, MADRS) and specific hematological indicators (Cort, ACTH, IL-1β, TNF-α).
• Trial was registered with a public clinical trial registry (ChiCTR2400084634), enhancing traceability.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analytical tasks.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small at 32.7 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary or key results table rather than raw patient-level data.
