Abstract： Objective： To observe the clinical effects of umbilical needle therapy in treating residual lower back pain after vertebroplasty. Methods： A total of 72 patients with residual lower back pain after vertebroplasty were randomly divided into the umbilical needle group and the control group，with 36 cases in each group．The umbilical needle group received the umbilical needle therapy，while the control group received the oral administration with Celecoxib Capsules． Before treatment， after treatment， and after one month of follow-up，the scores of the Pain Rating Index (PRI)，Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)，Present Pain Status (PPI)，and modified Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)，as well as the total scores of brief McGill Pain Qestionnaire (SF-MPQ)， were compared between the two groups. Results： After treatment and at follow-up，the PRI，VAS，PPI，SF-MPQ，and the modified ODI scores all decreased compared with the pre-treatment scores， while the PRI， VAS， PPI， SF-MPQ， and the modified ODI scores were lower than the corresponding control group，and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion： Umbilical needle therapy for residual lower back pain after vertebroplasty can significantly alleviate pain symptoms and promote early postoperative recovery，and it is more effective than oral administration of analgesics，with significant clinical efficacy ．
