Abstract
Severe lumbago (lower back pain) is a common condition with various causes. This study reports a case in which a gold alloy cast crown dental treatment significantly alleviated severe lumbago. The author hypothesizes that the dental intervention influenced the body's neural network, leading to pain relief.

Introduction
Chronic lower back pain is a widespread condition that can significantly impact quality of life. Traditional treatments include medication, physical therapy, and surgery. However, this report explores a novel approach: dental treatment using a gold alloy cast crown, which unexpectedly resulted in significant pain relief.
Case Report
A patient suffering from severe, chronic lumbago for several years underwent dental treatment for a decayed molar. The treatment involved the placement of a gold alloy cast crown. Remarkably, the patient reported immediate pain relief in the lower back after the dental procedure.
Discussion
The rapid improvement suggests a potential connection between dental occlusion and neuromuscular function. The author speculates that the trigeminal nerve's interaction with the central nervous system may play a role in pain modulation.
Conclusion
This case highlights a potential new avenue for pain management through dental interventions. Further research is necessary to validate these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms.
