Detaljerad beskrivning
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)
The change of pain and physical functions will be compared among the four groups.
So the efficacy of acupuncture, and the best acupuncture treatment model will be determined. Also in addition, safety and abnormal reactions of acupuncture treatments will be evaluated.

Experimentell: Individualized Acupuncture
The patients in this group received individualized acupuncture prescribed by a certified Korean Medicine Doctor with more than 6 years of oriental medicine college education and 2 years of clinical experience.
The acupuncture formulas were composed based on the pattern diagnosis, which is an unique diagnosis system of Oriental Medicine.

Akupunkturformlerna komponerades utifrån litteraturgenomgång av RCT.
|
The treatment was applied twice a week for 20 minutes for 6 weeks(12sessions) 8 Acupuncture points, GV4, GV3, BL24(bilateral), BL25(bilateral) and GB30(bilateral) were used for all the patients assigned to this group.

Åtgärdsbeskrivning |
Tidsram |
|---|---|---|
|
The change of 100mm pain Visual Analog Scale(VAS) after 6 weeks of treatment.
Tidsram: 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
Tidsram: 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.
