[Abstract] Objective: To explore the influence of the default network (DMN) after the group acupoint treatment on the cervical spondylosis neck pain (CSNP), and to explain the mechanisms of their central nerve effect.Materials and Methods: 49 CSNP patients were divided into two groups, one group given the acupuncture treatment at bailao (single acupoint), the other group at bailao and hegu (group acupoint), then we record their NPQ/MPQ/SF-36 score and scan the MRI before treatment and after, use the method of ReHo to deal with the data.Results: After the treatment of single acupoint, in DMN it shows stronger ReHo on left anterior cerebellum anterior lobe, weaker ReHo on right angular, inferior parietal lobule, middle frontal gyrus and superior frontal gyrus. The group acupoint group shows stronger ReHo on middle temporal gyrus and cuneus, weaker ReHo on left inferior temporal gyrus and inferior parietal lobule.Conclusions: The study discovered that both groups can achieve the analgesic effect in the clinical treatment on the chronic pain, and have the same curative effect. But there are different mechanisms of their central nerve effect on analgesia, and those can be useful to explain the mechanism of central nerve effect of acupuncture.
