Acute Neck Pain

Brief summary

The investigators will evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment (MSAT) therapy for acute neck pain compared to acupuncture.

Detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled, comparative effectiveness clinical trial for acute neck pain. Motion style acupuncture requires a part of the patient's body to move passively or actively while acupuncture needles are retained.
