Sciatica Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Acupuncture for Discogenic Sciatica: a Randomized Controlled Trial
This trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture on pain relief for patients with discogenic sciatica compared with sham acupuncture.
Background: Sciatica is primarily caused by herniated discs with nerve-root compression.
Acupuncture may effectively relieve the pain of discogenic sciatica, but the evidence is
limited.
Methods/Design: Sixty patients with discogenic sciatica will be recruited and randomized to
receive acupuncture or sham-acupuncture at a 1:1 ratio. Patients in both groups will receive
treatment 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The following acupoints will be used: Dachang shu
(BL 25), Shenshu (BL 23), Weizhong (BL 40), and Chengshan (BL 57).

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
