Figure 2.
Changes in visual analogue scale (VAS) score for chronic neck pain. There were significant reductions in pain intensity in the three groups at each point of assessment compared with baseline (*p<0.05, **p<0.01) but there was no difference between the three groups (repeated measure analysis of variance, analysis of covariate). AC group, acupuncture treatment only; NS group, NSAID treatment only; AN group, acupuncture with NSAIDs.
