[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Dongshin University Gwangju Korean Medicine Hospital announced on the 29th that it has officially begun clinical trials to verify the pain treatment effects of the medical laser irradiator + acupuncture stimulator (Ellise) by wavelength for nonspecific chronic low back pain.

The clinical trial involves the research team led by Professor Na Changsoo from Dongshin University College of Korean Medicine and the research team led by Professor Kim Jaehong from Dongshin University Gwangju Korean Medicine Hospital's Department of Acupuncture Medicine.

After final discussions on issues that may arise during the clinical research through simulations and standardized training, recruitment of clinical research subjects will be conducted.
