Abstract

In a group of 34 patients with lumbosacral pain acupuncture was applied in 18 cases and suggestion in 16 cases and the results of both methods were compared. The therapeutic effects were evaluated immediately after the procedure and after a series of 4 procedures. The therapeutic results were better both immediately and after a series of acupuncture. The difference in the results of treatment was statistically significant in the patients with longest duration of pains. Presence of degenerative spinal changes was without influence on the results of treatment by both methods.
