Randomized Controlled Trial
Effectiveness and safety assessment of orthopedic device (LSM-01) for low back pain: A randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled, parallel-group, pilot clinical trial.
More than 80% of the population suffer from low back pain at some time during their lives. An orthopedic device (LSM-01) will be used to alleviate back pain caused by muscle tension. LSM-01, which has a rotating roller, stimulates meridian-muscles around the governor vessel, bladder meridian, and gall bladder meridian. ⋯ This study protocol is registered with the Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS) of Korea. Clinical trial registration number: CRIS-KCT0006425.

Case Reports
Scrambler Therapy for the Treatment of Multiple System Atrophy-Parkinsonian Subtype Pain: A Case Report.
The management of pain in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) is often inadequate, and treatments commonly result in adverse effects. A 63-year-old man with the parkinsonian subtype of MSA presented with bilateral neck, shoulder, upper extremity, lower extremity, and low back pain of 6 years' duration. His baseline pain was 5 of 10 with flares to 10 of 10. ⋯ His pain relief after 4 ST sessions lasted for 6 weeks. No complications or adverse effects occurred. ST deserves further study for patients with atypical parkinsonism.
