Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the immediate pain relieving effects of sinbaro-3 pharmaco-acupuncture in patients with low back pain admitted for inpatient care

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

60 patients with LBP with moderate to severe pain(NRS\>6) were randomly allocated to 2 groups. The experimental group was treated with sinbaro-3 pharmacoacupuncture and the control group was treated with Hwangryun pharmacoacupuncture. All administrations were limited to 1 session, and comparisons of measurements were made before and after treatment. Primary outcomes were measured using the VAS scale. Post-treatment follow-up will be performed to measure primary outcomes at 30 minutes, 2hours, 4hours, and 6 hours after treatment. Before and after each measurement, the patients are asked to stand up and rotate their torso. At termination of the study, satisfaction levels of the patient's current status will also be collected.
