AB  - This study systematically searched and sorted out randomized controlled 
      trial(RCT) of acupuncture-moxibustion treatment for non-specific low back pain by 
      scoping review, so as to demonstrate the current state of the research evidence 
      and provide a reference point for future clinical research and healthcare 
      decision-making. Eight commonly used Chinese and English databases were searched, 
      and the search time was from the establishment of the databases to July 7, 2023, 
      so as to analyze the characteristics of the current status of the current 
      research through visualization methods. A total of 50 studies were included, 
      including 23 studies in Chinese and 27 studies in English. The overall number of 
      studies showed an increasing trend. The percentage of studies published in 
      Chinese non-core journals was 42.0%. The disease subtypes of interest were mainly 
      chronic non-specific low back pain, accounting for 68.0% of the studies. The 
      sample sizes of the studies were mainly concentrated in the range of 50-100 
      cases. A total of 15 types of interventions were categorized, with acupuncture 
      interventions being the most studied. Duration of treatment did not exceed one 
      month in 80.0% of the studies. Only 8.0% of the studies used minimal clinical 
      important difference(MCID) as a basis for judgment. The follow-up period was set 
      within 3 months in 28.0% of the studies, and 82.0% of the studies concluded that 
      acupuncture-moxibustion was effective in the treatment of non-specific lower back 
      pain. Adverse events were reported in 20.0% of the studies. The risk of bias in 
      the included studies was dominated by low risk of bias and uncertain risk of 
      bias, with fewer studies focusing on high risks of bias. In most of the studies, 
      acupuncture-moxibustion was significantly more effective than the control group. 
      The research on acupuncture-moxibustion treatment for non-specific low back pain 
      is developing rapidly, but there are still insufficient studies on psychological 
      state, safety, and other indicators, and there are still some studies with 
      uncertain risks of bias, which is not conducive to the generalization and 
      application of the findings. Therefore, future studies should improve and refine 
      these shortcomings.
