Objective: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) imposes considerable financial and social burden with poor response to medical and surgical treatments. Alternatively acupuncture and venesection(Fasd), are traditionally being used to alleviate nociceptive and musculoskeletal pains. This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness and the safety of acupuncture and venesection on CLBP and patient’s functionality. Methods: The current study was a single-blinded, randomized clinical trial with balanced allocation ,conducted in the department of physical medicine & rehabilitation medicine, in 2022. One hundred and five CLBP patients who had no back pain-attributable structural or major diseases ,were randomly allocated into 3 parallel arms, and received either physical therapy (PTG), acupuncture (APG), or venesection (VSG). Pain severity and functional aspects were evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS) and oswestry disability index(ODI) during the study. VAS and ODI scores were defined as the primary outcomes. Results: Ninety-five patients were reviewed in the final analysis(PTG=33, APG=30, VSG=31). Demographic data showed equal group distribution. Statistical analysis showed all procedures had reduced VAS score immediately after first session, after last session, and after follow-up , however APG and VSG values were significantly lower(P<0.05). pain reduction results in follow up period was more sustainable in APG and VSG as compared to PTG(P<0.01). ODI results revealed global improvement after the last session of the treatment in all groups , while APG had more significant results(P<0.05). During follow-up period , ODI still tended to decreased in VSG, non-significantly increased in APG, and significantly increased in PTG. Only 2 patients reported faints after receiving venesection. Conclusion: Considering the pain and functional scores, both acupuncture and venesection can reproduce reliable results . Acupuncture and venesection both have sustained effects on pain and daily function of the patients even after treatment termination, while physical therapy had more relapse in pain and functional limitations.

: Sciatica is a common back pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. Current pharmacologic therapies have proven inadequate for many patients with sciatic pain. On the other hand, there is a global increasing demand toward the use and administration of natural medicaments for this disorder. Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM) is a school of medicine and a medicinal plant based resource for clinical studies put forward by Persian scholars. The aim of the present study is to gather and study the effectiveness of all medicinal plants from five main Persian pharmacopeias. Furthermore, different data bases such as PubMed and Scopus have been checked to derive relevant activities for these plants. In all, 99 medicinal plants related to 42 families have been authenticated. Asteraceae and Apiaceae were the most frequent families and Roots and Seeds were the most reported botanical parts. The employed routs of administration were oral (54%), topical (33%) and rectal (13%). Anti-inflammatory, analgesic activity and anti-nociceptive properties of medicines are known as some main mechanisms to manage sciatic pain. These functions are possessed by 30%, 15%, and 15% of the studied plants, respectively. Medicaments that can be introduced as lead agents for further investigation are Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Olea europaea L., Strychnos nux-vomica L and Artemisia vulgaris L which showed all of these properties in previous studies. Hence, conducting adducible clinical trials using these lead agents may lead to novel drugs with lesser undesirable and much more therapeutic effects on controlling sciatic pain.
