Acute Neck Pain
Conditions
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.
Interventions
MSAT required a part of the patient's body to move passively or actively while acupuncture needles are retained.
