The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture for nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) compared to fake or placebo therapy.
researchers searched Cochrane CENTRAL through December 2016 and conducted searches in PubMed, MEDLINE and Embase from 1980 to December 2016. there are no zone restrictions
applied.
only a randomized controlled trial of adult NSLBP was included.
control intervention requires a placebo/fake procedure. a total of 14 trials (2,110 participants) were included in the
and 9 were included in the meta analysis.
found significant pain reduction after acupuncture treatment compared to false or placebo treatment (standardized average difference (SMD)-0.40, 95% CI -0.54 to -0.25; participants; 9 studies), but there was no difference in functionality (weighted average difference (WMD)-1.05, 95% CI -3.61 to 1.52; I2 79%; 462 participants; 4 studies).
follow-up, there were significant differences in pain reduction (SMD -0.46, 95% CI -0.82 to -0.09; I2 67%), but no difference in functionality (WMD -0.98, 95% CI -3.36 to 1.40; I2 87%).
we conducted subgroup analysis immediately after treatment and during follow-up.
the results showed that acupuncture had a moderately proven effect on pain reduction immediately after treatment of NSLBP (sub) compared to pseudo-acupuncture or placebo acupuncture.
