Description détaillée
To determine whether individualized acupuncture is more effective than standardized acupuncture, 276 Low Back Pain patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to 4 separate groups.
Experimental groups(Individualized Acupuncture Group and Standardized Acupuncture Group) and Control groups (Sham acupuncture and waiting list)

Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
The change of 100mm pain Visual Analog Scale(VAS) after 6 weeks of treatment.
Délai: at baseline and after 6 weeks of treatment.
|
Visual analog scale (VAS) is a tool used to measure pain.
The patient is asked to indicate their perceived pain intensity along a 100 mm horizontal line, where '0' represents 'no pain' and '100', 'unbearable pain'.
The change of pain will be reported by comparing the mean VAS before treatment and after the 6 week trearment period.

Roland - Morris Disability Questionnaire
Délai: at 2nd(baseline), 8th(after 4 weeks of treatment), 13th(end of study) and 14th(follow up) visit
|
Roland - Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) is scored by adding up the number of items checked by the patients, among the 24 items concerning various disablilities caused by low back pain.
The score can therefore vary from 0 to 24.
Higher the scores represent worse disabilities.
