Background: Acupuncture is one of the most widely used therapies to treat chronic low back pain, whose analgesic effect seems to be potentiated by the addition of electric current (electroacupuncture). However, we are not aware of any clinical trial that has evaluated the effectiveness of this technique in adults > 65 years.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture in the treatment of chronic low back pain in the elderly.
