Abstract

|
Objectives: This study was designed to observe change of body temperature for patients with low back muscular pain after NUGA MRT-Ⅱ(pulsed electromagnetic therapy) treatment.
Methods: This study was a randomized, patient-assessor blind, placebo-controlled, pilot trial study. After the approval of institutional review board(IRB), we have recruited 38 patients suffering from low back muscular pain and divided them into two groups randomly: the treatment group and control group. To the treatment group, NUGA MRT-Ⅱ was practiced and to the control group sham device was practiced on their low back muscles and acupuncture points three times a week for 2 weeks from February 2011 to May 2011. After 1 week of last treatment, We compared body temperature of two groups.
Results: 1. There was significant decrease of body temperature on both Shinsu(BL23), Chishil(BL52), Kwanwonsu(BL26) acupunture points for the treatment group. 2. There was no difference in the decrease of body temperature between treatment group and control group except Left Kwanwonsu(BL26).
Conclusions: We found out that treatment of NUGA MRT-Ⅱ on low back muscular pain can reduce the temperature of low back.
