Fu’s subcutaneous needling based on anatomy train theory for nonspecific low back pain: a randomized controlled trial
’s subcutaneous needling based on anatomy train theory for nonspecific low back pain (NLBP).
Methods
2
A total of 120 patients with NLBP were randomized into an anatomy train Fu’s subcutaneous needling group (40 cases
3 cases dropped out)
a conventional acupuncture group (40 cases
2 cases dropped out) and a conventional Fu’s subcutaneous needling group (40 cases
2 cases dropped out). Acupuncture was applied at
ashi
points and bilateral Shenshu (BL23) and Dachangshu (BL25) in the conventional acupuncture group
once every other day
3 times a week.
Fu
’s subcutaneous needling was applied at lumbodorsal myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the Fu’s subcutaneous needling group
once every 3 days
twice a week. On the basis of the treatment in the Fu’s subcutaneous needling group
Fu
’s subcutaneous needling was applied
at MTrPs along the posterior superficial line and lateral line in the anatomy train Fu’s subcutaneous needling group
once every 3 days
twice a week. All groups were treated for 2 weeks. Before and after treatment
the scores of numeric rating scale (NRS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were observed
the distance of Schober test was measured and the endurance of trunk extensors was assessed in the 3 groups.
Results
2
After treatment
in the 3 groups
the NRS and ODI scores were decreased compared with those before treatment (
P
<
0.05)
the Schober test distance was increased compared with that before treatment (
P
<
0.05)
the static and dynamic muscle endurance was increased compared with that before treatment (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
in the anatomy train Fu’s subcutaneous needling group
the NRS and ODI scores were lower than those in the conventional acupuncture group and the conventional Fu’s subcutaneous needling group (
P
<
0.05)
the Schober test distance was longer than that in the conventional acupuncture group and the conventional Fu’s subcutaneous needling group (
P
<
0.05)
the static and dynamic muscle endurance was superior to that in the conventional acupuncture group and the conventional Fu’s subcutaneous needling group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Fu
’s subcutaneous needling based on anatomy train theory can effectively relieve the pain symptom
enhance quality of life
improve lumbar motion and lumbar muscle function in patients with NLBP.
