ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of 3D curvature traction on neck-type cervical spondylosis.Methods Totally 100 neck-type cervical spondylosis patients were divided randomly and equally into an observation group and a control group.The observation group underwent the treatment by 3D curvature traction combined with intermediate frequency therapy,and the control group went through the treatment by cupping and intermediate frequency therapy.Evaluation was carried out on neck pain,tenderness and cervical mobility before and after the treatment.Results The recovery rate was 88% in the observation group,which was significantly higher than that (40%) in the control group (P=0.007).The total effective rate was 100% in the observation group,which was obviously higher than that (88%) in the control group (P=0.029).The score differences for pain and cervical mobility before and after the treatment were 4.96±0.36 and 1.67±0.73 respectively in the observation group,which were statistically different from the score differences for pain (3.38±0.80) and cervical mobility (0.88±0.76) in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion 3D curvature traction gains high clinical effect when used to treat neck-type cervical spondylosis.
