Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy and Safety of Acupuncture for Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Protocol for a Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial
Degenerative Lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) is a major problem for public health and the primary reason the older seek lumbar spine surgery. Acupuncture is safe and maybe effective for DLSS but the evidence is poor. Therefore, an objective assessment of acupuncture efficacy is critical for making informed decisions about its appropriate role for patients. A total of 80 participants meet prior inclusion criteria will be recruited. The participants will be allocated to acupuncture group or placebo needle (unpenetrated acupuncture) group randomly. Twenty-four treatments will be provided over 8 weeks. The primary change of Modified Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and secondary outcomes including the change of Number Rating Scale (NRS); the change of Self-paced Walking test (SPWT); the change of Swiss Spinal Stenosis Questionnaire (SSSQ); the expectations that acupuncture might help participants with DLSS. All outcomes will be assessed at baseline, and/or after 4, 8, 20 and 32 weeks. Statistical analysis will include independent sample t-test, Chi-squared test and non-parametric test. The investigators hope the result of this trial will clarify the value of acupuncture for DLSS and help clinicians make proper decisions.
