Abstract
We report on 4 patients suffering from acute neck pain and limited range of motion (ROM) in the cervical spine who were treated with intradermal acupuncture. The treatment effect was evaluated with numeric rating scale (NRS), ROM, and Neck Disability Index (NDI). After treatment, the NRS and NDI scores decreased and the ROM of the cervical spine increased in all patients. This report shows that intradermal acupuncture treatment can be effective for patients with acute neck pain with limited ROM. However, further controlled studies are needed to confirm the effect of intradermal acupuncture on such patients.
