Purpose：To review RCTs on acupuncture treatment for low back pain

in order to establish a standard acupuncture treatment model

in treating low back pain.

Methods：RCT articles on traditional acupuncture treatment for low back pain were searched through online database.Study quality was assessed using the FEAS.

Result：Ten out of the one hundred six articles searched were reviewed.

Among the ten articles reviewed, six articles compared acupuncture treatment with no treatment or non-penetrating sham acupuncture.

All six articles concluded significantly positive effect of acupuncture compared to the control.

Conclusion：

The ideal acupuncture treatment model for low back pain was obtained as follows.

★ Sterile disposable stainless steel needles (0.30mm×40mm) should be inserted to more than six acupuncture points on the BL, GV and GB meridians such as BL23, BL25, BL40, BL60, GV4 and GB30.

★ Needle handling method to obtain ‘de-qi’ is recommended and repeated stimulation during the 20 minute retention time is necessary.

★ Ideal treatment frequency would be more than once a week for about 7 weeks.

基于FEAS的治疗低腰痛随机对照试验的系统综述

目的：回顾随机对照试验（RCT）研究针刺治疗腰痛的疗效；建立标准的针灸治疗模式；治疗腰痛

方法：通过在线数据库检索传统针刺治疗腰痛的RCT文章。研究质量通过FEAS评估。

结果：100篇文章中有10篇被审查。在十篇文章中，有六篇文章比较针灸治疗，没有治疗，也没有假针灸。与对照组相比，6篇文章均有明显的积极作用。

结论：

      以下采用理想的低腰痛针刺治疗模型：无菌一次性不锈钢针(0.30 mm*40 mm)应在BL、GV、GB经络上超过6个穴位施治，如BL23、BL25、BL40、BL60、GV4和GB30。在20分钟的保留时间内，建议使用针刺方法来得气，并重复刺激。理想的治疗频率每周不止一次，持续7周左右。
