**6. Conclusion**

We introduced our acupuncture treatment for cervical dystonia and upper extremity dystonia. The advantages of acupuncture include its ability to treat both hypertonia and hypotonia, the muscle tone abnormalities of dystonia; its ability to treat secondary disorders such as muscle shortening and skin shortening; and the fact that it rarely causes side effects. However, consistent improvement of symptoms requires long-term treatment; it is important to accumulate improvement after each treatment and to continue treatment patiently, paying attention to changes in the patient's symptoms.
