Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy on improving lumbar spine’s motor function of the catgut embedding therapy combined with Cao thong ty decoction in treating low back pain due to spine spondylosis. Methods: controlled interventional clinical study, compare the indicators between before and after the treatment.  60 patients were divided into two groups: 30 patients of the study group were administered catgut embedding therapy on acupoints and oral Cao thong ty decoction; 30 patients of the control group were administered electroacupuncture combined with Cao thong ty decoction. The duration of treatment was 20 days. Results: After the treatment, the lumbar spine flexion assessed by Schober test, the fingertips to floor distance, the range of lumbar spine’s movements (flexion, extension,left and right side bending) were improved compare to those at baseline (p < 0.05), the outcome of the study group was comparable to that of the control group  (p > 0.05). Conclusion: the catgut embedding therapy combined with Cao thong ty decoction posed the efficacy on improving the lumbar spine’s movements in patients suffering from low back pain due to spine spondylosis.
