Acupuncture for low back pain.

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Clinical Inquiries question: Is acupuncture effective in improving pain relief for low back pain? Evidence-based answer: Acupuncture is an effective treatment for relief from low back pain, even when compared with other interventions (sham acupuncture, usual care, or no treatment), with stronger effects observed immediately after treatment. Clinically significant reduction in pain is more reliably observed in chronic rather than acute low back pain (strength of recommendation: A, based on systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]).
