Patient was a 39-year-old male. He had suffered from severe cervical pain and stiffness in the right side for 18 days. The pain often woken him up several times at night, and seriously affected his daily life. The cause of the pain was unknown, but most likely was due to a poor sleeping posture. He had several chiropractic treatments without much relief. On examination, the patient sat with his head lowered and a walnut-sized hard nodule was found on the right neck, near C5-cC6 vertebrae. With the technique of MNSP, five needles were inserted into his hard nodule from different angles, and some needling sensations of soreness and distension were generated. In addition, Dazhuui (GV14), right Fengchi (GB20) and Jianjing (GB21) were selected as associate points and punctured in conjunction with an exectrical stimulation during the 20min of needle-retaining period. After only two sessions of acupuncture, the patient’s cervical pain and the stiffness were completely relieved.
