ABSTRACT

Se realizó un ensayo clinicoterapéutico de fase II de 120 pacientes con sacrolumbalgia no neurológica, atendidos en el cuerpo de guardia y en la consulta ambulatoria del Instituto Superior de Medicina Militar "Dr. Luis Díaz Soto" y del Hospital Militar Central "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay", desde enero de 2009 hasta junio de 2010, con vistas a evaluar la eficacia del tratamiento acupuntural. Se conformaron 2 grupos de 60 integrantes cada uno, los cuales fueron comparados con un grupo control con la misma cantidad de pacientes, pero con tratamiento farmacológico. Se obtuvo que los tratados con acupuntura mejoraron en menor tiempo, en particular los del grupo 2, de donde se infiere que esta técnica resultó eficaz para aliviar el dolor lumbar en quienes se aplicó, a la vez que permitió a los enfermos reducir el período de tratamiento, ahorrar medicamentos y lograr una rápida reincorporación a la vida laboral y social.


A phase II clinical and therapeutical trial was conducted in 120 patients with non neurological low back pain, attended at the emergency ward and the outpatient department of "Dr. Luis Díaz Soto" Higher Institute of Military Medicine and "Dr. Carlos J Finlay" Central Military Hospital, from January 2009 to June 2010, with the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment. Two groups of 60 patients each were divided, which were compared with a control group with the same number of patients, but with drug treatment. It was found that patients treated with acupuncture improved in less time, particularly those in group 2, so that this technique was effective in relieving back pain in those patients it was applied, while allowing to reduce the time of treatment, save medications and achieve rapid return to work and social life.
