The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Electroacupuncture combined with Dry cupping therapy works to treat back pain due to lumbar spondylosis in the qi stagnation and blood stasis pattern. I
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Patients with back pain due to lumbar spondylosis in the qi stagnation and blood stasis pattern will be registered for this study. They will be treated with a combination of Electroacupuncture combined with Dry cupping therapy.
The intervention period is two weeks. Electronic acupuncture will be performed once a day for 2 weeks. Dry cupping therapy will be performed every 4 days for 2 weeks. Data on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability index (ODI), and side effects of Electroacupuncture and Dry cuppingwill be recorded before the study and weekly for 2 weeks.

| Sham Group | Sham Comparator | Sham Coparator: 38 patients were treated with acupuncture using Khanh Phong 20x15 needles inserted into specific acupuncture points. Afterward, the acupuncture needles were connected to electrodes to administer electrical stimulation through the KWD808-1 electroacupuncture machine. The Sham group will receive placebo dry cupping therapy using two size 1 acrylic cups (internal diameter 4.5 cm), with a distance of 3 cm between each cup, placed parallel to the spine, bilaterally along the boundaries of acupoints BL17, BL23, and B25. This group will undergo placebo dry cupping therapy for 7 minutes, every 4 days (3 sessions over 2 weeks). However, the cups will be prepared with small holes <2 mm in diameter to release the negative pressure within seconds. Double-sided tape will be used to ensure the cups remain attached and in contact with the skin. |
