The object of this study is to identify the effect of acupuncture for torticollis by assessing pain and functional improvement. Studies will be searched from 11 Databases(Cochrane library, EMbase, Pubmed, Citation Information by NII [CiNII], China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], WanFang Data, Koreanstudies Information Service System [KISS] KMbase, ScienceON, KoreaMed and OASIS). We will select participants that diagnosed with torticollis, regardless of cause, gender, age, race and interventions will be acupuncture, electroacupuncture, dry needling, fire needle. Main outcome will be visual analogue scale(VAS) and numeric rating scale(NRS) to assess the degree of pain. The control group will be the torticollis patients who treated by other treatments except interventions. This study will be included randomized controlled trials on acupuncture treatment for torticollis. Data extracted from the above process will follow the Cochrane risk of bias tools and PRISMA flow diagram. The data results of the meta-analysis will be calculated through Cochrane's RevMan 5.4 and extracted values. The pain index and the improvement of cervical function will be analyzed using a standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval (CI) as continuous variables. This study is currently registered in PROPERO(ID:CRD42023442199). Through this study, it is expected that the effect of acupuncture on torticollis will be considered, and acupuncture treatment for torticollis patients will be more reliable on this study.
