Summary

Neck pain is a highly prevalent condition, affecting 30% to 50% of the population, with cervical spondylosis accounting for up to 80% of these cases. The burden of cervical spondylosis continues to increase, leading to chronic mechanical pain, restricted mobility, and a significant socioeconomic impact. Treatment mainly includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and traditional medicine therapies such as massage and acupuncture.

Jin's Three-Needle technique (specifically Cervical Three-Needle targeting Dazhu, Tianzhu, and Bailao acupoints) is a specialized acupuncture method created by Professor Jin Rui, demonstrating therapeutic effectiveness in improving local circulation and relieving neck pain. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture effectively manages pain in cervical spondylosis, especially for the Blood Stasis syndrome. Additionally, combining these specific acupoints with standard electroacupuncture and active movement exercises plays an essential role in alleviating pain and restoring cervical spine function. In practice, many practitioners apply Jin's Three-Needle technique to treat cervical spondylosis with considerable effectiveness, though it has not been thoroughly evidence-based in Vietnam for the Blood Stasis syndrome.

Given the limitations in evaluating treatment effectiveness and the lack of published research discussing the analgesic effects of Jin's Three-Needle technique for this specific syndrome in Vietnam , the investigators conducted the study to evaluate the pain reduction and range of motion improvement of Jin's Three-Needle technique combined with electroacupuncture in patients with cervical spondylosis with blood stasis syndrome.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Jin's Three-Needle Acupuncture therapy

Acupuncture therapy will be performed once a day, five days a week for 2 weeks. The acupoints treated with this technique are Dazhu, Tianzhu, and Bailao. Needles are retained for 20 minutes per session.

DEVICE

Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture will be performed once a day, five days a week for 2 weeks. The acupoints treated are Jiaji C4-C7, Jianjing, Lieque, and Houxi. Stimulation uses a continuous wave at 50 Hz, retained for 20 minutes.

BEHAVIORAL

Active Movement Exercises

Patients perform cervical active range of motion exercises at home. Each exercise is performed 5 times per session, 2 sessions a day, with each session lasting about 20 minutes, for 2 weeks.
