Ultrasound-Guided vs Non-Guided Pharmacopuncture for Cervical Myofascial Pain Syndrome: A Multi-Center Prospective Comparative Study Protocol
This study is the first to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided HP pharmacopuncture for acute CMPS in a multi-center prospective comparative study. The findings are expected to provide comprehensive evidence supporting ultrasound-guided pharmacopuncture as an effective treatment for myofascial pain and may expand its clinical applications, particularly in Korean medicine clinics.
