- Patients whose pain has been persisted at least 3 weeks recently and who are necessary to care intermittent medical treatments (eg. medication, injection, physio therapy).
- Patients with pain, defined as an Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) value ≥ 50mm.
- Patients who are 19 - 70 years of age.
- Patients who agreed to voluntarily participate in this study and signed informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have been diagnosed with a serious disease that can cause low back pain (e.g., cancer, vertebral fracture, spinal infection, inflammatory spondylitis, cauda equine compression, or other disqualifying conditions).
- Patients with progressive neurological deficit or severe neurological symptoms.
- Patients whose pain causes are not resulted from spine or resulted from soft tissue diseases(e.g., cancer, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, gout).
- Patients with a chronic disease that could influences the effects of the treatment or the analysis of treatment results (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, epilepsy, or other disqualifying conditions).
- Patients for whom acupuncture would be inappropriate or unsafe (e.g., hemorrhagic disease, clotting disorders, a history of receiving anticoagulant therapy, severe diabetes with a risk of infection, severe cardiovascular disease, or other disqualifying conditions)
- Patients who are currently pregnant or planning the pregnancy.

Experimental: Electroacupuncture and Usual care
15 minutes of electroacupuncture and usual care.
Usual care contains 15 minutes ICT(Interferential Current Therapy), 10 minutes hot pack or ice pack and education of patients.
|
Electroacupuncture: Using 0.25 mm (diameter) X 0.40 mm (length) sized disposable stainless steel needles, electric stimulation will be applied with an electronic stimulator (ES-160, ITO co. LTD, Japan) 2 times/week × 4 weeks. Stimulation will be applied with the current in biphasic wave form. Acupuncture points are Jia-ji (Ex-B2, L3-L5; bilateral) as necessary points and reasonable points (according to decision of practitioner) as accessory points. Each session lasts 15 minutes. Usual care: Physical therapy and patient education will be performed 2 times per week for 4 weeks. ICT lasts 15 minutes and Hot or Ice pack lasts 10minutes. Doctors will educate patient physiology, pathology, and epidemiology of low back pain. And also suitable postures and exercises for low back pain will be educated. |
