Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study protocol outlines a 2×2 factorial randomized controlled trial investigating the combined effects of acupuncture and mindfulness-based stress reduction for chronic non-specific low back pain. The research involves 120 participants assigned to four groups: acupuncture alone, MBSR alone, the combination of both interventions, or health education. Outcomes are measured at baseline, six weeks, and four months post-intervention using various scales assessing pain, disability, mindfulness, mood, and sleep quality.
