Record History

  1. Minor Study First Submitted
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if catgut embedding works to treat chronic low back pain in adults with lumbar spondylosis and "Blood Stasis" syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does catgut embedding lower back pain more effectively than electro-acupuncture? Does catgut embedding improve the daily physical activities of participants? Researchers will compare catgut embedding to electro-acupuncture to see which method works better to reduce pain and improve quality of life. All participants will also receive counseling on lifestyle changes and back exercises. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either catgut embedding (2 sessions over 4 weeks) or electro-acupuncture (20 sessions over 4 weeks). Visit the clinic for treatments and checkups. Complete surveys about their pain levels and ability to perform daily tasks at the start, at 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks.
