| Objective: To observe the clinical effects of combination of electric acupuncture (EA) and core muscular training on nonspecific low back pain. Methods: Sixty patients with nonspecific low back pain who met the diagnostic criteria were selected. The random sampling was adopted to further divide the cases into two groups with 30 cases respectively. They were set as the experimental group (combination of EA and core muscular training group) and the control group (EA treatment group). Two groups did their treatment once a day (5 times a week) for two weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Japanese orthopaedic association (JOA) were used to assess pain intensity and the performance of alleviating pain before the treatment, after the first two weeks and in the end of treatment. Results: As compared with the situation before the treatment, after the first two weeks of treatment, the scores of JOA and VAS were changed significantly in both groups (P<0.05). After the first two weeks of treatment, there were great differences between the experiment group and control group; and 3 months after the treatment, the recurrence rate of the experimental group was obviously lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: The clinical effect of the combination of EA and core muscular training on low back pain is more effective than EA treatment alone. |
