Summary

This study tests whether combining electroacupuncture (using mild electric pulses on needles) with ear acupressure (using small seeds on ear points) can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with chronic low back pain caused by lumbar spondylosis. Seventy-six adults aged 40-70 with moderate pain will receive either the real combination or a sham version for 14 days. The goal is to see if this drug-free approach offers a safe, effective way to manage long-term back pain.
