title: [Clinical observation on O3 acupoint injection for treatment of low back pain].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the value of O3 acupoint injection for treatment of low back pain.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and twenty cases of low back pain were randomly divided into an electroacupuncture (EA) group, a Danggui injectio point injection group and an O3 acupoint injection group. They were treated with EA, Danggui acupoint injection and O3 (30 microg/mL) acupoint injection at Qihaishu (BL 24), Dachangshu (BL 25), Guanyuanshu (BL 25) and local Ashi points.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were significant differences in the therapeutic effect as the O3 acupoint injection group compared with the EA group and the Danggui point injection group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the EA group and the Danggui point injection group (P > 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The O3 acupoint injection is a convenient and highly effective therapy for low back pain.
