Background And Purpose: This parallel, single-center, pragmatic, randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of motion style acupuncture treatment (MSAT; a combination of acupuncture and Doin therapy) to reduce pain and improve the functional disability of patients with acute low back pain (aLBP) due to road traffic accidents.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-six patients with aLBP admitted to the Haeundae Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine in South Korea due to traffic accidents were treated with integrative Korean medicine (IKM) with additional 3-day MSAT sessions during hospitalization (MSAT group, 48 patients) or without (control group, 48 patients), and followed up for 90 days.
Results: The mean numeric rating scale (NRS) scores of low back pain (LBP) of the MSAT and control groups were both 6.
Purpose: We aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of non-pharmacological- and pharmacological treatment strategies for Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in pragmatic clinical settings.
Patients And Methods: This study was a pilot, two-armed, parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Thirty patients aged 19-70 years with a numeric rating scale (NRS) score ≥5 for sciatica and confirmed LDH on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on treating acute low back pain (LBP) caused by traffic accidents using a specific acupuncture therapy called motion style acupuncture therapy with traction (T-MSAT).
- - Conducted at Jaseng Hospital in South Korea, the randomized controlled trial (RCT) will involve 100 participants, comparing T-MSAT combined with integrative Korean medicine therapy against a control group receiving only the latter.
- - The outcomes will analyze pain relief and functional improvements using various scales, and the results can inform policymakers and healthcare providers on effective treatments for LBP post-traffic accidents.
