 “Pragmatic Trial of Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain in Older Adult”:    https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04982315?term=NCT04982315&draw=2&rank=1   

Brief Summary:

The main goal of the BackInAction research study is to determine the effectiveness of a standard course of acupuncture (15 sessions of acupuncture over 3 months) and an enhanced course of acupuncture (an additional 6 sessions of acupuncture over months 4-6) in improving back-related disability in older adults (65+ years) with chronic low back pain compared to usual care alone. Key secondary aims are to determine the effectiveness of acupuncture in improving a composite score of pain intensity and pain interference.
