Abstract
Background: Neck pain-called Jing Bi or Neck Bi-syndrome in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-is frequently treated with various TCM modalities. Pestle needle (Chu Zhen) is a unique noninvasive treatment method that originated from the Sichuan province in China. This therapy is a combination of acupuncture and massage. There is little research on the clinical use of pestle needle, and detailed case reports are few in number.
Cases: This report describes 3 patients' neck pain-treatments via pestle needle; the patients were from Denmark, Indonesia, and China.
Results: Each author treated 1 of the patients; 1 patient had a significant reduction of his neck pain and 2 patients had successful resolution of their neck pain.
Conclusions: The clinical experiences of the 3 authors showed that pestle needle therapy could be an effective and simple noninvasive technique to relieve neck pain.
