“…This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a 2-week self-administered gentle mechanical skin stimulation with microcones on subjective and objective symptoms of chronic neck and shoulder discomfort. As objective symptoms, range of motions (ROMs) of the neck and shoulder regions, which are known to be decreased in people with chronic neck and shoulder discomfort [ 24 , 25 ], were evaluated.…”

This study aimed to examine the efficacy of a 2-week self-administered gentle mechanical skin stimulation on chronic neck and shoulder discomfort. In participants (n = 12) with chronic neck and shoulder discomfort, subjective measures of pain sensation, discomfort, and difficulty in moving using a visual analog scale (VAS, 0–10) and objective measures of 12 different joint range of motions (ROMs) for the cervical and shoulder regions, using a digital goniometer, were collected before and after self-care with contact acupuncture, called microcones. The self-care for 2 weeks significantly (p < 0.001) decreased all VAS scores to 2.2–2.3 from baseline values of 6.0–7.4. Of the 12 ROMs tested, 8 were significantly increased (p < 0.013). This open-label study suggests the use of self-care with microcones in improving subjective symptoms and joint ROMs in people suffering from chronic neck and shoulder discomfort. However, a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial is needed to further investigate the efficacy and safety of microcones.

Inactive individuals with chronic neck pain have changes in range of motion and functional performance of the shoulder

Abstract: The greater the neck pain intensity and catastrophizing, the lower the functional performance and lateral rotation range of motion of the shoulder.
