Acupuncture for neck pain in cervical spondylosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether acupuncture at a specific point on the wrist can reduce neck pain in people with cervical spondylosis. If you have chronic neck pain from wear-and-tear changes in your spine, this treatment might help improve your pain and movement.

This trial tests whether a specific type of acupuncture (three-needle Dazhui plus electroacupuncture) can reduce pain and improve function in people with neck pain caused by cervical spondylosis, especially when the pain is worse in cold weather. It combines a modern diagnosis with traditional Chinese medicine ideas to see if this approach helps more than standard care.
This study tests if high-frequency electroacupuncture (needles with mild electric current) at specific points on the neck, combined with electromagnetic field therapy, can help relieve pain from cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. It may be an option if you have neck pain that travels to your shoulder or arm and are not using strong painkillers.
This study tests a type of acupuncture called intensive multi-acupuncture for treating neck and shoulder muscle pain (myofascial pain syndrome). It aims to see if this acupuncture approach can reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests whether cupping therapy helps relieve neck pain caused by cervical spondylosis (wear-and-tear changes in the neck bones). It is for people who have had neck pain for less than four weeks and are not taking certain pain medications.
This study tests whether a treatment called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) acupuncture — using your own blood proteins — can reduce chronic neck pain caused by a common muscle condition. It may be a good option if you have had neck pain for months and want a non-surgical approach.
This trial tests whether electroacupuncture (needles with gentle electrical stimulation) and cupping (suction therapy) can reduce shoulder pain from tendon inflammation. You'll receive these traditional treatments if your shoulder pain is moderate and caused by tendon injury rather than other conditions.
