Study Description

Shanxi Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital and North University of China jointly developed an "intelligent thunder-fire moxibustion" robot with six degrees of freedom mechanical arm as the core and will be applied in clinical practice to verify its clinical efficacy. In clinical practice, patients with low back pain were recruited jointly by several hospitals and divided into two groups. Intelligent thunder-fire moxibustion robot and artificial thunder-fire moxibustion were respectively used for treatment. The clinical efficacy and safety of intelligent thunder-fire moxibustion robot were evaluated through comparative analysis of outcome indexes such as VAS pain scale and serum inflammatory factors.
