This study is a single blind, randomized controlled trail. condition/disease: acute low back pain treatment/intervention: motion style acupuncture treatment
"Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment(MSAT)" is a therapeutic technique using acupuncture needle created in Jaseng Hospital. This treatment involves patients with musculoskeletal pain to move the part of their body actively during acupuncture treatment under physicians' observation. This treatment is known to relieve the pain and increase the range of motion(ROM). However, there has been no specific value for the effect of this treatment. So, the investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trials to verify the efficacy and safety of Lumbar MSAT. From March 2021 to December 2021, the investigators will collect 96 inpatients who are suffered from Low back pain with the numeric rating scale(NRS) over 5 after injury by acute traffic accident(TA). For experimental group(n=48), the investigators will conduct MSAT three times(on 2nd, 3rd and 4th day of hospitalization) and other Korean medical treatment. For control group(n=48), just Korean medical treatment except MSAT will be conducted. For these two groups, the investigators will compare NRS, Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Range Of Motion(ROM), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)."

Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) of Low back pain
The extent of Low back pain and discomfort will be assessed using NRS. NRS is a pain scale in which the patient indicates their subjective pain as a whole number from 0 to 10. The participant is asked to report their low back pain and discomfort using NRS, where 0 indicates 'no pain or discomfort' and 10 indicates 'the most severe pain and discomfort imaginable'.
Time frame: Change from baseline NRS at 4 days
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of Low back pain
VAS is an assessment index in which the patient records their pain on a 100mm line from 'no pain' at one end, and 'the most severe pain imaginable' at the other end.
Time frame: Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days)
Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) of leg pain
NRS is a pain scale in which the patient indicates their subjective pain as a whole number from 0 to 10. The participant is asked to report their leg pain and discomfort using NRS, where 0 indicates 'no pain or discomfort' and 10 indicates 'the most severe pain and discomfort imaginable'.
Time frame: Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days), week12
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of leg pain
VAS is an assessment index in which the patient records their pain on a 100mm line from 'no pain' at one end, and 'the most severe pain imaginable' at the other end.
Time frame: Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days)
Physical examination (Lumbar range of motion)
ROM of flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation will be measured.
Time frame: Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days)
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a 10-item questionnaire that measures a patient's self-reported Low back pain related disability.
Time frame: Baseline(day2), day4, day of discharge(up to 14days), week12
EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D)
The EQ-5D is a method of indirectly calculating the weights of certain health states for quality of life after a multidimensional investigation of health states, and is the most widely used instrument for this purpose. The EQ-5D consists of 5 questions about current health state (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, anxiety/depression), and each question is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1=no problems, 3=moderate problems, 5=severe problems). In this study, the investigators will use the Korean version of the EQ-5D, which has been demonstrated to be valid.
Time frame: Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days), week12
Patient Global Impression of Change(PGIC)
The PGIC is an index that assesses improvements in functional limitation caused by whiplash injury. Participants rate the improvement in functional limitations after treatment on a 7-point Likert scale (1=Very much improved, 4=No change, 7=Very much worse). This index was originally developed for use in Psychology, but is currently used in various other medical fields to assess improvements in pain.
Time frame: day4, day of discharge(up to 14days), week12
