Abstract

Background: Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. According to the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, 619 million people worldwide had low back pain in 2020, and this number is expected to reach 843 million by 2050. Loin Nonspecific chronic low back pain alone accounts for approximately 90% of low back pain. Non-specific chronic pain in the lower back belongs to the group of diseases that appear to be caused by cold yellow water in Mongolian medicine. Mongolian medicine tea and alcohol therapy is a heat treatment that mainly stops pain, treats tumors, stimulates the soil, and restores function, so it is a suitable method for treating non-specific chronic pain in the lower back. Aim: Evaluating the results of treatment of non-specific chronic back pain with Mongolian herbal tea and alcohol treatment. Materials and Methods: In the study,including 62 participants using the method of clinical randomized controlled trial research. Treatment results were assessed before treatment and on days 3, 7, 14, 30, and 60 of treatment using the Oswestry Disability Index (QL), The EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D-5L), and Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI) evaluated. Results: 37 percent (23) of the participants were male and 62 percent were female (39), the average age was 49.54±9.9 years. Before treatment, the EI was 48.06±5.19 in the treatment group and 44.90±3.41 in the comparison group, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant, indicating that the two groups were comparable (p=0.33). 30 days after the start of treatment, it was 2.32±5.93 in the treatment group and 16.68±10.96 (p=0.0001) in the control group, which shows that the results of tea and alcohol therapy are statistically significantly higher than those of red light therapy. Before starting the treatment, EQ5D-5L benefit index value was -0.26±0.09 in the treatment group and -0.26±0.09 in the control group was -0.26±0.089 and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, indicating that the two groups were comparable (p=0.909). Treatment After 30 days, it was 0.971±0.08 in the treatment group and 0.669±0.209 in the control group (p=0.0001) showed that the results of tea and alcohol therapy are statistically higher than those of red light therapy. Before treatment, BDI was 59.52±2.59 in the treatment group and 58.39±3.19 in the control group, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, indicating that the two groups were comparable (p=0.123). After 7 days of treatment, the BDI-treatment group was 3.71±6.28, compared to 14.35±11.65 (p=0.0001), and after 30 days, the treatment group was 2.74±6.15, compared to 14.32±11.68 (p=0.0001) showed that the results of tea and alcohol therapy are statistically higher than those of red light therapy. Conclusions: 1. In people with non-specific chronic low back pain, treatment with Mongolian medicinal tea and alcohol therapy significantly reduces disability due to back pain compared to red light therapy (p=0.001). 2. Mongolian medicinal tea and alcohol therapy improves the quality of life of people with non-specific chronic low back pain (p=0.001). 3. Mongolian medicinal tea and alcohol therapy reduces depression in people with non-specific chronic low back pain (p =0.0001)
