Abstract: 70% alcohol.The following points were selected: CV12 (Zongwan), CV4 (Guanyuan), CV5 (Shimen), CV6 (Qihai), CV7 (Yinjiao) and R13 (Qixue).The points were needled with 0.25x40 mm disposable acupuncture needles and manipulated with balanced toning and dispersion stimuli for a period of 30 seconds.D'Agostino & Pearson test was used to test data normality and t-test (paired) to compare VAS data.Results: In the evaluation of VAS data, we observed p < 0.0001.Conclusions: We observed an immediate relief of pain after treatment based on statistical analysis, suggesting that the use of abdominal acupuncture, may be able to offer excellent results in the immediate treatment of low back pain.
