Objectives : The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of cervical Hyeopcheok(Jiaji) point for neck pain.
Methods : The twenty-nine patients who feel neck pain, are chosen from chart review, received acupuncture treatment on cervical Hyeopcheok(Jiaji) point. The evaulation of progress was checked by NDI(neck disability index), and VAS(visual analog scale). Data were analyzed by Friedman two way analysis of variance and Wilcoxon matched pairs signed rank test.
Results : NDI value(mean±SD) was 17.76±8.26(n=29) at the first visit, 13.41±8.04(n=29) at 3days after treatment, 10.85±8.46(n=26) at 5days, 11.00±7.80(n=13) at 9days, 7.22±4.76(n=9) at 15days, 3.86±4.06(n=7) at 20days, and 3.33±3.78(n=6) at 30days. VAS value(mean±SD) was 4.07±1.33(n=29) at the first visit, 12.97± 1.05(n=29) at 3days after treatment, 2.15±1.12(n=26) at 5days, 2.15±0.99(n=13) at 9days, 1.56±0.73(n=9) at 15days, 1.29±0.49(n=7) at 20days, and 0.83±0.41(n=6) at 30days. The value of NDI and VAS gradually decreased. Repeated measurement results(the difference between the first visit and each measurement day) and the difference between before and after the interval(except between 5 and 9days, between 20 and 25days) were statistically significant.
Conclusions : This result was shown that treatment of cervical Hyeopcheok(Jiaji) acupuncture point for neck pain can be effective. Further systematic research will be needed.
