Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application effects of electroacupuncture at Chang'an acupoint combined with stimulation of Huatuo Jiaji acupoint on non-specific low back pain. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 200 patients with non-specific low back pain admitted to the Hanzhong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2021 to October 2022. The patients were divided into two groups based on different treatment methods: a control group and an observation group, with 100 patients in each group. The control group received conventional electroacupuncture treatment, while the observation group received electroacupuncture at the Chang'an acupoint and stimulation of Huatuo Jiaji acupoint. Both groups were treated for three treatment courses. Clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the observation group was 97% (97/100), which was significantly higher than the 84% (84/100) in the control group ( χ2 = 9.83, P = 0.002). After treatment, both groups showed an increase in the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score for low back pain (both P<0.05) compared with before treatment. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(23.54 ± 1.81) vs. (20.75 ± 1.57), t = 11.64, P<0.001]. Conclusions:Electroacupuncture at the Chang'an acupoint combined with stimulation of the Huatuo Jiaji acupoints is effective in relieving pain, improving lumbar function, and enhancing clinical outcomes in patients with non-specific low back pain.
