The purpose of this study is to figure out which acupoints are selected to treat nuchal pain and attempt to analyze the meaning of those acupoints in current clinical trials. We searched ten electronic databases and manually checked related Korean journals and references. We included randomized controlled trials(RCT), clinical controlled trials(CCT), case reports/series, and literature reviews using acupojnts to treat nuchal pain. We investigated the frequency of selected acupoints. We included 31 articles in this study. The most frequently adopted acupoints were GB20(77.41%), followed by GB21(61.29%). In distribution according to meridian system, BL was the most(25.60%), followed by Extra points of Dong-Shi(12.19%). Selected acupoints for treat nuchal pain were considered to be affected by flow of meridian system. It is necessary for more studies to provide clinical guideline of acupoint selection.
