- W1520657679 abstract "<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objectives:</b> To compare the efficacy of acupuncture and conventional massage for the treatment of chronic neck pain. <b>Design:</b> Prospective, randomised, placebo controlled trial. <b>Setting:</b> Three outpatient departments in Germany. <b>Participants:</b> 177 patients aged 18–85 years with chronic neck pain. <b>Interventions:</b> Patients were randomly allocated to five treatments over three weeks with acupuncture (56), massage (60), or “sham” laser acupuncture (61). <b>Main outcome measures:</b> Primary outcome measure: maximum pain related to motion (visual analogue scale) irrespective of direction of movement one week after treatment. Secondary outcome measures: range of motion (3D ultrasound real time motion analyser), pain related to movement in six directions (visual analogue scale), pressure pain threshold (pressure algometer), changes of spontaneous pain, motion related pain, global complaints (seven point scale), and quality of life (SF-36). Assessments were performed before, during, and one week and three months after treatment. Patients9 beliefs in treatment were assessed. <b>Results:</b> One week after five treatments the acupuncture group showed a significantly greater improvement in motion related pain compared with massage (difference 24.22 (95% confidence interval 16.5 to 31.9), P=0.0052) but not compared with sham laser (17.28 (10.0 to 24.6), P=0.327). Differences between acupuncture and massage or sham laser were greater in the subgroup who had had pain for longer than five years (n=75) and in patients with myofascial pain syndrome (n=129). The acupuncture group had the best results in most secondary outcome measures. There were no differences in patients9 beliefs in treatment. <b>Conclusions:</b> Acupuncture is an effective short term treatment for patients with chronic neck pain, but there is only limited evidence for long term effects after five treatments. <h3>What is already known on this topic</h3> Acupuncture is a widespread complementary treatment Evidence from trials have given conflicting results on its use in the treatment of neck pain because of methodological shortcomings and because effects were compared either with alternative treatments or with different sham procedures imitating acupuncture, but not both <h3>What this study adds</h3> Compared with sham laser acupuncture and massage, needle acupuncture has beneficial effects on mobility and pain related to motion in patients with chronic neck pain Acupuncture was clearly more effective than massage, but differences were not always significant compared with sham laser acupuncture Acupuncture was the best treatment for patients with the myofascial syndrome and those who had had pain for longer than five years" @default.
