Abstract:
To explore the positioning of acupoints, a research was done with PubMed for system reviews and clinical trials on treatment of low-back pain with sham-acupuncture controlled design from January 1, 2010 to October 27, 2017. Six system reviews and 12 sham-controlled acupuncture random trials were found. The statistical difference was not found in all the 6 trials with standard acupoint compared with the sham-acupuncture among the 8 penetrating skin sham-control trials. The statistical difference was found in the two trials with penetrating skin sham control, who was used individualized treatment, twirling for arrival or palpation for point. It is considered that sham-acupuncture penetrating skin is not a placebo, and needling with standard or dynamic acupoint may reduce low-back pain, and dynamic acupoint positioning may be better than standard acupoint positioning.
