Med. 12:1625230. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2025.1625230 In the published article, there was a mistake in the original text. The second paragraph of 3.4.1 HAMA was displayed as ["In Sun et al. (23) (n = 60) compared electroacupuncture combined with duloxetine (SNRI) to duloxetine alone; Liang and Liang (24) (n = 70) compared acupuncture combined with duloxetine (SNRI) to duloxetine alone; Ma et al. ( 25)'s study, the between-group difference in the change of HAMA scores after 6 weeks of treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (-5.00, 95%CI: -7.80 to -2.20; p = 0.0009) from baseline; however, the mean difference was not significant at weeks 2 (0.30, 95%CI: -2.56 to 3.16; p = 0.84) and 4 (-2.3, 95%CI: -5.11 to 0.51; p = 0.11) (shown in Table 2 A correction has been made to the section [Section "3 Results", subsection "3.4.1 HAMA", Paragraph 2]:The correct text should read:"[In Sun et al. ( 23)'s study, the between-group difference in the change of HAMA scores after 6 weeks of treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (-5.00, 95%CI: -7.80 to -2.20; p = 0.0009) from baseline; however, the mean difference was not significant at weeks 2 (0.30, 95%CI: -2.56 to 3.16; p = 0.84) and 4 (-2.3, 95%CI: -5.11 to 0.51; p = 0.11) (shown in Table 2).]" The original version of this article has been updated.
