Description
Xueqi Li and six co-authors set out a trial protocol in two thousand twenty-six for a needle-knife treatment for neck pain from cervical spondylosis. This wear of the neck spine is a common pain source, and standard care such as drugs and therapy often works slowly or weakly. Acupotomy joins acupuncture ideas with soft-tissue release to free adhesions and ease muscle tension.
Their trial will assign patients at random to ultrasound-guided acupotomy or standard medication. Assessors and statisticians stay blind to group, and the sample size was set by power analysis. Care runs three weeks, with twelve weeks of follow-up. Pain intensity is the main outcome they will judge.
