NCT ID NCT06086899
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special acupuncture technique called motion style acupuncture treatment (MSAT) for people with radiating arm pain after a traffic accident. 100 adults aged 19-69 who were hospitalized with pain starting within 3 days of the accident took part. The treatment involves moving the painful area while needles are in place. The goal was to see if MSAT reduces pain better than standard Korean medicine.
