Conclusions and Relevance  The findings of this randomized clinical trial of older adults with CLBP suggest that acupuncture needling provided greater improvements in back pain–related disability at 6 months and at 12 months compared with UMC alone. These findings support acupuncture needling as an effective and safe treatment option for older adults with CLBP.
