description: The first table contains the raw data pertaining to the duration of the first stage of labour, in whichA = epidural anaesthesia;B = acupoint herbal patch + epidural anaesthesia;C = electroacupuncture + epidural anaesthesia;D = auricular seed implantation + epidural anaesthesia;E = acupoint massage + epidural anaesthesia;F = transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation + epidural anaesthesia;G = acupuncture + acupoint herbal patch + epidural anaesthesia;H = acupuncture + transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation + epidural anaesthesia.The second table contains the raw data pertaining to the total labour duration, in whichA = epidural anaesthesia;B = electroacupuncture + epidural anaesthesia;C = auricular seed implantation + epidural anaesthesia;D = acupoint massage + epidural anaesthesia;E = transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation + epidural anaesthesia;F = acupuncture + acupoint herbal patch + epidural anaesthesia;The third table contains the raw data pertaining to anaesthetic dosage, in whichA = epidural anaesthesia;B = electroacupuncture + epidural anaesthesia;C = transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation + epidural anaesthesia;D = acupoint injection + epidural anaesthesia;E = auricular seed implantation + epidural anaesthesia.The fourth table contains the raw data pertaining to Caesarean section rate, in whichA = epidural anaesthesia;B= electroacupuncture + epidural anaesthesia;C = auricular seed implantation + epidural anaesthesia;D = transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation + epidural anaesthesia;E = acupuncture + transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation + epidural anaesthesia.
