This study is a prospective, case-control observational trial. The investigators will compare the MSAT group to the control group to analyze the effectiveness of shoulder MSAT.

Clinical Trial Description

Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment(MSAT) is a therapeutic technique using acupuncture needle created in Jaseng Hospital. This treatment involves patients with musculoskeletal pain to move the part of their body actively during acupuncture treatment under physicians' observation. This treatment is known to relieve the pain and increase the range of motion(ROM). However, there has been no specific value for the effect of this treatment.

Therefore, The investigators conducted observational trial to analyze the effectiveness of shoulder MSAT. From July 2019, The investigators will collect 80 patients with ROM limitation on both or each shoulder and who are suffering from shoulder pain with the numeric rating scale(NRS) over 4.

The investigators will compare pain, dysfunction, quality of life and satisfaction of patients who are treated with Korean medical treatment including MSAT and patients who are treated with Korean medical treatment not including MSAT.

For these two groups, The investigators will compare Range Of Motion(ROM), NRS(Numeric Rating Scale), Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) and EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D-5L). ;
