Detailed Description
Patients with chronic low back pain are enrolled and divided into group A (atelocollagen) and group B (control) through randomization after obtaining informed consent.
Investigators record tender points for the multifidus, erector spinae, and quadratus lumborum muscles by physical examination.
Investigators evaluate each muscle using ultrasound according to the assignment of each group, and apply atelocollagen mixture (atelocollagen 3 mL + 1% lidocaine 3 mL) or local anesthetics only (normal saline 3 mL + 1% lidocaine 3 mL) to each muscle on both sides.
The subject of the study performs a total of 3 injections at intervals of 2 weeks, and each measurement variable is collected by visiting 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the last injection.
Changing medications or additive interventions are not allowed before 4 weeks after last injection. Only acetaminophen is allowed as a rescue drug.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Control Group 1% licocaine 3 mL + Normal saline 3 mL mixture |
Device: atelocollagen
This collagen-contained product is used to supplement tendon, ligament, muscle, and (biological) membrane that is missing or damaged during internal/surgical treatment and surgery.
Patients with chronic low back pain are randomized after obtaining informed consent for the study.
Participants are divided into group A (atelocollagen) and group B (control). A physical examination for lumbar pain was performed and evaluated trigger points in multifidus, erector spinae, and quadratus lumborum muscles.
After physical exam, cross sectional area of each muscle is measured by ultrasound in both gorup.
Group A will receive atelocollagen mixture (atelocollagen 3 mL + 1% lidocaine 3 mL) and group B will receive local anesthetics only (Normal saline 3 mL + 1% lidocaine 3 mL).
Each participants will be injected 1 mL of injectate into each muscle on both sides (total 6 mL).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pain changes in low back pain [4 weeks after last intervention]
The changes of the 11-point Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) pain score (numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable")) after intervention between two groups.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pain changes in low back pain [12 weeks after last intervention]
The changes of the 11-point Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) pain score (numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can i

5-pointed satisfaction scale of intervention (pain physician)
- Pain related to intervention [4 weeks after first intervention]
The 11-point Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) pain score (numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable")) related to intervention
- Medication [12 weeks after last intervention]
