This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) pharmacopuncture—a single injection of your own concentrated blood platelets delivered at specific acupuncture points in your neck—to see if it can relieve long-lasting neck pain caused by tension in the upper trapezius muscle. Half of participants will receive the actual PRP injection, while the other half will receive a placebo injection with salt water to help researchers fairly measure how well the treatment works. Your improvement will be checked at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after the injection.
Chronic neck pain from muscle tension affects many people and current treatments don't always work well. Researchers want to know whether this medication—made from your own blood—can reduce pain and improve how your neck feels when you move and do everyday activities.

You will receive a single injection at acupuncture points in your neck—either platelet-rich plasma or salt water (placebo)—and then return for pain assessments at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after the injection. The entire study takes about 8 weeks, and most of your time will be spent healing at home between brief check-in visits. You will be asked to avoid anti-inflammatory medications for 2 weeks before and during the study period.
