OBJECTIVES: This study examines whether intensive acupuncture treatment can improve several social and psychological variables for women with chronic pain in the neck and shoulders, and whether possible effects are long-lasting. The effects on pain have been reported elsewhere. At six months and three years follow ups the acupuncture group showed further improvements in most variables and was again significantly different from the control group. CONCLUSION: Intensive acupuncture treatment may improve activity at work and several relevant social and psychological variables for women with chronic pain in the neck and shoulders. The effect may last for at least three years.

General acupuncture doesn't work very well for chronic pain condition.
Deep and intensive acupuncture does!

thank you for your comment
1,General acupuncture for pain relief is just relive pain,not cure pain.
2,General acupuncture put needles in ashi or traditional acupoint whose aren't exactly chronic injury point,so they only get temporary relief.
3,Because chronic damage area always located in attachment region where tendon connect bone tissue, Deep and intensive acupuncture is much effective than general acupuncture which normally avoid put in that region.
4,Clinically,It is temporary effect that general acupuncture treat different system dysfunction,but deep and intensive acupuncture can get long-term relief.
5,There are many clinical case can tell this conclusion.
