Sources of variability are probably multi-factorial including the contribution of gender related effects. Gender related variation in perceived pain has been discussed frequently but documented effects of acupuncture referring to gender are sparse. Furthermore factors such as operationalisation of the outcome variable and the statistical method for evaluation could also be sources of variability. When pain is regarded as subjective the produced data should be treated as ordinal. The rank-based method by Svensson taking the non-metric qualities of the ordinal data into account as well as the variability at the group and the individual level is therefore an alternative. The present commentary aims to 1 evaluate changes in electrical sensory thresholds and electrical pain thresholds after low frequency electro-acupuncture separately in healthy women and men 2 introduce and exemplify the method by Svensson in a user-friendly approach. To analyze the systematic patterns of change in thresholds indicating evidence of treatment on a group level the relative position RP and relative concentration RC were measured. The variation related to the individual the relative rank variation RV was also measured. The results were divergent between women n 23 and men n 22 . unchanged sensory threshold after acupuncture at the group level in women while changed in men. The assessed pain threshold after acupuncture on the other hand was changed towards higher levels in women and unchanged in men. The individual variation was apparent in both women and men but larger in women. For statistical analysis of the .
