Methods: 29 patients have low back pain. After traditional needle acupuncture therapies, We use Rainbow therapy to patients in addition. Rainbow therapy was performed at the points of W?izh?ng BL40, Chengsh?n BL57, Gu?nch?ng TE1, Hu?ngsh? KI16, Q?men LR14, Tanzh?ng CV17, Zh?ngch?ng PC9, Zuqiaoy?n GB44, Zh?ngmen LR13, Sh?nzhu GV12, Mingmen GV4, Zulinqi GB41. Each points were stimulated with RP-UM103(Rainbow therapy instrument) for 20 seconds.
The degree of improvement of low back pain was evaluated by VAS before treatment and after treatment. And PRS and ROM(extension and flexion) was checked befrore treatment and after 3rd treatment. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS program.
