Sciatica is one of the most frequently reported complaints, it affects quality of life and reduces social and economic efficacy. The prevalence of sciatic symptoms reported in the literature varies considerably ranging from 1.6% in the general population to 43% in a selected working population. Although the prognosis is good in most patients, a substantial proportion (up to 30%) continues to have pain for 1 year or longer .A number of risk factors are thought to be associated with first-time incidence of sciatica and influence the development of sciatica; these include smoking, obesity, occupational factors. Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is set apart from other methods of acupuncture by its core premise of diagnosing and treating a patient's fundamental Causative Factor: the element among the five that is the source of imbalance. The Causative Factor is assessed by way of sensory information provided by the body, mind, and spirit of the patient. Each of the elements has a corresponding odor, color, sound, and emotion, which can be perceived when a particular element is out of balance. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of the Causative Factor is the key to Classical Five- Element Acupuncture. In addition, this elegant system recognizes that the health of each unique individual's body, mind, and spirit must be taken into account to fully understand and treat the cause of illness. A prospective, randomized trail performed among 60 sciatica subjects, verified by MRI or computed tomography or SLR/ Lasegue’s Test. Using simple randomization subjects were randomized under Group A (Classical; N= 30) and Group B (Sham ; N= 30) on 1:1 ratio. The Subjects of Group A and Group B received their respective treatment. Data were collected before and after treatment using 10 Point- VAS scale, and Sciatica Bothersome Index. Intensity of sciatica pain showed statistically significant improvement in Group A (P<0.001) than Group B.
