Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the value of O3 acupoint injection for treatment of low back pain.
METHODSOne hundred and twenty cases of low back pain were randomly divided into an electroacupuncture (EA) group, a Danggui injectio point injection group and an O3 acupoint injection group. They were treated with EA, Danggui acupoint injection and O3 (30 microg/mL) acupoint injection at Qihaishu (BL 24), Dachangshu (BL 25), Guanyuanshu (BL 25) and local Ashi points.
RESULTSThere were significant differences in the therapeutic effect as the O3 acupoint injection group compared with the EA group and the Danggui point injection group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the EA group and the Danggui point injection group (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe O3 acupoint injection is a convenient and highly effective therapy for low back pain.
