“…The TEA tools seem to differ from typical Korean tools due to the specificity of the insertion method. In China, when embedded into acupoints, the medical threads are cut short and inserted with tools, such as plungers [38]. Therefore, the findings determined from this review seem diff icult to apply it to the situation of domestic research in Korea.…”

In this study, the evidence of thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) in treating cervical radiculopathy in randomized controlled trials was investigated. We searched 16 databases up to August 22, 2022. Of the 2,644 studies retrieved, 22 randomized controlled trials (2,483 participants) were selected. Quality assessments were performed using Cochrane’s risk-of-bias tool and RevMan 5.4 software. Outcome measures in the included studies typically showed TEA had a significant therapeutic effect compared with simple acupuncture and other remedies, and TEA was better than sham TEA. Catgut and polydioxanone had no difference in effectiveness, however, catgut was considered to be less safe. TEA was shown to be more therapeutic when inserted deeper into the skin. Ultrasound guided TEA was more effective and safer than conventional TEA, and using a flat blade needle was better than conventional needles for TEA. No serious adverse events were reported from using TEA, and only a few mild side effects were observed. However, the limited number and heterogeneity of the included studies, together with the unclear methodological quality, indicate that higher-quality studies need to be conducted to determine the effectiveness and safety of TEA for cervical radiculopathy.

“…In China, the thickness of the embedding needle is usually marked with a standard number; therefore, Chinese studies rarely specify a diameter. Jun et al [38] mentioned that in China, the No. 6 needle was a diameter of 0.6 mm, and No.…”

“…[5] In Korean Medicine, governor vessel (GV), bladder meridian (BL), and gall bladder meridian (GB) are important treatment target for chronic low back pain (LBP). [6] The efficacy of various Korean Medical interventions, such as Thread Embedding Therapy [7] and Warm Needle Acupuncture, [8] for LBP are studied using these meridians. These meridian-muscles correspond to the muscular system, such as spinous process, erector spinae muscle, gluteus medius, and tensor fasciae latae.…”

Effectiveness and safety assessment of orthopedic device (LSM-01) for low back pain

Background: More than 80% of the population suffer from low back pain at some time during their lives. An orthopedic device (LSM-01) will be used to alleviate back pain caused by muscle tension. LSM-01, which has a rotating roller, stimulates meridian-muscles around the governor vessel, bladder meridian, and gall bladder meridian. Methods: This study will be a randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled, parallel-group, pilot clinical trial. Subjects will be randomly allocated to the treatment group (LSM-01) or the control group (sham device). The duration of the clinical trial will be 2 weeks. The primary outcomes will be measured using the visual analog scale; the secondary outcomes will include pressure pain threshold, Oswestry Disability Index, and Patient Global Impression of Change. Statistical analysis will be performed for the full study population. Analysis of covariance will be conducted to identify differences in pain before and after the application of the device. Discussion: This clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the LSM-01 device. As a pilot study, this investigation includes a limited number of subjects. The results of this pilot trial will form a basis for a large-scale clinical trial, which will be conducted in the future. Clinical trial registration: This study protocol is registered with the Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS) of Korea. Clinical trial registration number: CRIS-KCT0006425. Registered: October 5, 2021; https://cris.nih.go.kr/cris/search/detailSearch.do?search_lang=E&search_page=L&pageSize=10&page=undefined&seq=20056&status=5&seq_group=20056
