Motion style acupuncture treatment ( MSAT ) for acute low back pain with severe disability : a multicenter , randomized , controlled trial protocol . BACKGROUND Acupuncture is widely-used to treat patients with low back pain , despite insufficient evidence of the technique 's efficacy for acute back pain . Motion style acupuncture treatment ( MSAT ) is a non-traditional acupuncture treatment requiring a patient to exercise while receiving acupuncture . In Korea , MSAT is used to reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve functional status . The study aims to evaluate the effect of MSAT on acute low back pain with severe disability . METHODS/DESIGN This study is a multicenter , randomized , active-controlled trial with two parallel arms . Participants with acute low back pain and severe functional disability , defined as an Oswestry Disability Index ( ODI ) value > 60 % , will be randomly allocated to the acupuncture group and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ( NSAID ) injection group . The acupuncture group will receive MSAT and the NSAID injection group will receive an intramuscular injection of diclofenac . All procedures will be limited to one session and the symptoms before and after treatment will be measured by assessors blinded to treatment allocation . The primary outcome will be measured at 30 minutes after treatment using the numerical rating scale ( NRS ) of low back pain while the patient is moving . Secondary outcomes will be measured at 30 minutes after treatment using the NRS of leg pain , ODI , patient global impression of change , range of motion ( ROM ) of the lumbar spine , and degrees of straight leg raising ( SLR ) . Post-treatment follow-up will be performed to measure primary and secondary outcomes with the exception of ROM and SLR at 2 , 4 , and 24 weeks after treatment . DISCUSSION The results of this trial will be discussed . TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrial.gov NCT01315561 .
