Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of warming acupuncture therapy on patients who had suffered from low back pain.
Methods: The 42 persons who had hospitalized in Jaseng hospital were randomized into two groups. We treated 22 persons by warming acupuncture on every other day. The others were treated by only traditional acupuncture therapy alone. VAS(Visual Analogue Scale), ODI(Oswestry Disability Index) and the angle of SLR(Straight Leg Raising test) were measured on each week from admission for four weeks.
Results:
1. Sample group showed significantly more improvement than control group at 3 weeks in ODI score.
2. Sample group showed significantly more improvement than control group at 2 weeks in VAS score.
3. The angle of SLR test was not significantly different between two groups, but there was a tendency of increasing on sample group.
Conclusions: According to above results, warming acupuncture therapy was more effective on the treatment of low back pain than general oriental medical therapy without it.
