Acupuncture is an originally Chinese practice of inserting fine needles through the skin at specific points especially to cure disease or relieve pain (as in surgery)

Does getting treated with Acupuncture really releave pain more efficiently then the standard back pain medication?

Hypothesis:

There will be little to no difference in pain relief experienced by the first two groups while the third group will experience positive results.

In our study there are three groups of four people.

In each group there will be 2 male and 2 female subjects, all experiencing back pain.

Group one will recieve legitamite acupuncture treatment.

Group two will be recieving false acupuncture with toothpicks used to administer the treatment instead of needles. The subjects will recieve light pressure with the toothpicks simulating the acupuncture needles.

Group three (the control) will be recieving back pain medication in order to verify that the pain experienced by the participants is curable.

Acupuncture needles

GROUP 2: (Placebo)

Toothpicks

A substance that has no therapeutic effect, used as a control in testing new drugs.

GROUP 3: (Control)

Standard back pain medication

Confirming Results: If the first and second group felt no relief or had slightly varied results while the third group unanimouslyexperienced relief, the test results would be confirmed

Disconfirming results: If all participants in all three groups reported similar results or the third group experienced no results and the first two group experienced successful results, the test would be disconfirmed

Acupuncture

This test cannot be conducted as a double blind study, due to the fact that the patients must be informed that it is a physical treatment to the body.
