Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the analgesic and movement improvement effects of bee venom acupunctures on patients with spinal degeneration induced low back pain. Subjects and methods: 100 patients with spinal degeneration induced low back pain were treated at National Hospital of Acupuncture. They were divided into two groups: control and bee venom groups. In the bee venom group, patients were treated by Electro-acupuncture and bee venom acupuncture at dose 0.0025 mg/kg. In control group, patients were treated by saline and electro-acupunctures for 15 continous days. Scale VAS, motion ranges and the lumbar spine stretch were measured before and after treatments. Results: After 15 treatment days, in the bee venom group, there was a significant decrease in scale VAS while there were significant increases in motion ranges, the lumbar spine stretch from day 7 to day 15 after treatments. Conclusion: Bee venom acupunctures had strong effects of the analgesic and movement improvement in patients with spinal degeneration induced low back pain.
