Multicentre randomised controlled clinical trial of electroacupuncture with usual care for patients with non-acute pain after back surgery
2021 Mar BJA Education Heo I, Shin BC, Cho JH, Ha IH, Hwang EH, Lee JH, et al.
In a multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded active-controlled trial with 108 participants, those in the EA with UC group received EA and UC twice a week for 4 weeks, while the UC group received only UC. The primary outcome was the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain intensity score. Significant reductions were observed in both VAS and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores in the EA with UC group compared to the UC group. No meaningful differences were found in EuroQol-5-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) scores and incidence of adverse events (AEs) between the groups. The study concludes that EA with UC treatment is more effective and relatively safe for non-acute LBP after back surgery, suggesting it as an integrated, conservative treatment option.
