Unpredictable allocation to (10) racing horses with (DOMS), were assigned randomly to two groups, namely Acupuncture (A group) and Electroacupuncture (EA group).
Both groups were performed the treatment three times every week for four sequential weeks.
Measurement of pain with both front legs was used as indices of their efficacy by using the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale).
