Pain management in these patients remains challenging, and acupuncture is widely used as a non-pharmacological treatment option. However, the additional benefit of stimulating the Lieque (LU7) acupoint, based on the Six Command Points theory, has not been fully established.\n\nThis randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether acupuncture at Lieque (LU7), combined with electroacupuncture at Jiaji (Ex-B2, C4-C7) and cervical-shoulder points, provides greater pain relief compared to electroacupuncture at Jiaji (Ex-B2, C4-C7) and cervical-shoulder points alone.\n\nA total of 130 participants with cervical spondylosis will be randomly assigned to two groups. Treatments will be delivered over 20 days. The primary outcome is the change in neck pain intensity, measured by a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), from baseline to the end of treatment.\n\nThe findings will provide clinical evidence on the effectiveness of acupuncture at Lieque (LU7) for reducing neck pain and improving patient outcomes in cervical spondylosis.",[96,97],"Cervical Spondylosis","Neck Pain",[96,97,99,100,34,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108],"Cervical Spine","Acupuncture","Lieque Point","LU7 Acupoint","Jiaji Points","Cervical-Shoulder Acupoints","Randomized Controlled Trial","LU7","Ex-B2","Ex-B2, C4-C7","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-08-28",{"date":112,"type":113},"2025-09-03","ACTUAL",{"date":115,"type":90},"2025-09-01",{"date":117,"type":90},"2026-03-01",{"name":77,"class":6},1]
