).The needles were retained for 50 min per session

once daily

7 days a week. After 16-week treatment

the patient was able to walk a few steps slowly with assistance

and other symptoms returned to normal. A two-month follow-up showed the patient's condition remained stable

walking distance further increased

and overall health significantly improved.
