Brief Summary: This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of Fus subcutaneous needle FSN and Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation TENS on chronic neck pain by using more objective assessment tools such as Neck Disability Index Visual Analog Scales Pressure Pain Threshold and Myotone of MTrPs of Upper Trapezius Muscles Range of Motion of Stretch of Upper Trapezius Muscle and Pittsburgh sleep quality index
Detailed Description: Neck pain combining limited range of motion is very common Lasting for only a few days it will taper off without any treatment If the neck pain symptoms persist for more than two months without any improvement it will be categorized as chronic neck pain causing not only pain but also functional impact even in daily life working and sleep quality

Fus subcutaneous needling is utilized in treating disease related with myofascial trigger point including soft tissue pain joint pain even some internal problems Indeed it reduce pain immediately with no obvious side effects There were some clinical articles of subjective symptoms description published lacking scientific accessment of efficacy

Research team leading by Professor Chang-Zern Hong has already prove that excitability can be reduced by distal acupuncture Needling TE5 and LI11 can reduce pain intensity and average amplitude of MTrPs end plate in upper trapezium m and increase pain pressure threshold

Comparing to traditional acupuncture whether safer and pain-less Fus subcutaneous needle also has the distal treatment effect or not still needs more scientific experiment to prove This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and Fus subcutaneous needle on chronic neck pain by using more objective assessment tools such as Neck Disability Index Visual Analog Scales Pressure Pain Threshold and Myotone of MTrPs of Upper Trapezius Muscles Range of Motion of Stretch of Upper Trapezius Muscle and Pittsburgh sleep quality index
