Objectives. This prospective, randomized clinical trial (RCT) was designed to investigate the feasibility and effects of a 4-week auricular point acupressure (APA) for chronic low back pain (CLBP).Methods. Participants were randomized to either true APA (true acupoints with taped seeds on the designated ear points for CLBP) or sham APA (sham acupoints with taped seeds but on different locations than those designated for CLBP). The duration of treatment was four weeks. Participants were assessed before treatment, weekly during treatment, and 1 month following treatment.Results. Participants in the true APA group who completed the 4-week APA treatment had a 70% reduction in worst pain intensity, a 75% reduction in overall pain intensity, and a 42% improvement in disability due to back pain from baseline assessment. The reductions of worst pain and overall pain intensity in the true APA group were statistically greater than participants in the sham group(P<0.01)at the completion of a 4-week APA and 1 month followup.Discussion. The preliminary findings of this feasibility study showed a reduction in pain intensity and improvement in physical function suggesting that APA may be a promising treatment for patients with CLBP.

BACKGROUND: In people with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and active discopathy, glucocorticoid intradiscal injection (GC IDI) reduces LBP in the short-term. Lumbosacral immobilization may be useful to obtain long-term results. OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of a lumbosacral immobilization using a pantaloon cast following GC IDI in people with cLBP sand active discopathy. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective feasibility study. Participants were allocated to experimental or control groups by preferences. The experimental group received lumbosacral immobilization using a custom-made pantaloon cast worn continuously for one week following a GC IDI of 25 mg of prednisolone acetate. The control group received GC IDI alone. The primary endpoint was the feasibility of lumbosacral immobilization assessed by the rate of refusal and early withdrawal of the cast. RESULTS: Twelve patients were offered lumbosacral immobilization following GC IDI: the rate of refusal was 3/12 (25.0%) and was 3/9 (33.3%) of early withdrawal. Mean (95% CI) acceptability of the procedure was 55.0 (26.9–83.1)/100 in the experimental group (N= 6) and 61.6 (25.1–98.2)/100 in the control group (N= 6). CONCLUSIONS: We found high rates of refusal and early withdrawal of the lumbosacral immobilization using a pantaloon cast following GC IDI in people with nonspecific cLBP and active discopathy.
