Ultrasound-Guided needle aims to ease Crash-Related back pain
NCT ID NCT07126951
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether adding ultrasound-guided deep pharmacopuncture (herbal extract injections) to standard Korean medicine can better relieve acute low back pain from traffic accidents. Forty hospitalized adults will be randomly assigned to get either standard care alone or standard care plus the ultrasound-guided injections. The main goal is to see if pain scores improve more with the guided injections, and to check safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- herbal extract (pharmacopuncture)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a safer, more precise way to deliver herbal injections for acute back pain after accidents.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (40 people) with no blinding, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. The added benefit of ultrasound guidance is unproven.
