Research paper thumbnail of Immediate Effect of Acupuncture on Electromyographic Activity of the Upper Trapezius Muscle and Pain in Patients With Nonspecific Neck Pain: A Randomized, Single-Blinded, Sham-Controlled, Crossover Study

Methods: A blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted. Fifteen patients with nonspecific neck pain and 15 healthy participants were enrolled in a randomized, single-blinded, crossover study. Each participant was subjected to a single session of ACP and sham acupuncture (SACP). The electromyography (EMG) signal of the upper trapezius muscle was recorded during different step contractions of shoulder elevation force (15%-30% maximal voluntary contraction) before and after ACP treatment. Results: Significant effects were confirmed after the treatment (ACP and SACP) for Numeric Rating Scale scores (F 1,28 = 51.61; P b .0001) and pain area (F 1,2 = 32.03; P b .0001). Significant decreases in the EMG amplitude were identified for the nonspecific neck pain group (NPG) (F 1,112 = 26.82; P b .0001) and the healthy participant group (HPG) (F 1,112 = 21.69; P b .0001) after ACP treatment. No differences were identified between the ACP and SACP treatment protocols for Numeric Rating Scale score (NPG:
