Objectives : To evaluate the effectiveness of oriental complex therapy with $Dokhwalgisaeng-tang$($Duhuojisheng-tang$) $Gamibang$ on the lumbago patient. Methods : 13 lumbago patients were treated with $Dokhwalgisaeng-tang$($Duhuojisheng-tang$) $Gamibang$, acupunture, moxibustion, pharmacopuncture, cupping, oriental physical therapy and exercise for lumbago. ODI(Oswestry diability index), ROM(range of motion), pain self assessment were checked to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. Results : ODI, pain self assessment and ROM were all improved but there were no statistical significance except pain self assessment($p$<0.001).
