ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of both acupuncture combined with flames and simple acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of nerve root cervical spondylosis,so as to provide appropriate basis for the improvement of nerve root cervical spondylosis treatment. Methods A total of 60 cases of nerve root cervical spondylosis were enrolled for the study and randomly divided into two groups with the treatment of acupuncture combined with dragon moxibustion group(treatment group,n=30)and simple acupuncture group(control group,n=30). The clinical symptoms before and after treatment,and signs changes between the two groups were compared. Results Patients of both two groups showed significant im?provement after treatments(P<0.05);CSR simplify McGill Pain Scale scores inquiry(P<0.05). The total effective rate of the treatment group was 96.67%,which was 90.0%in the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). It indicated that the combined use of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy had better efficacy than simple acupuncture treatment. Conclusion The combined use of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy with flames in nerve root cervical spondylosis showed better clinical effect,which can be used as a preferred method of clinical treatment pro?grams.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to observe the clinical effect of nerve root cervical spondylosis treatment by muscle meridian manipulation with small-angle sagittal localized rotational pulling of the neck . A total of 60 cases of nerve root cervical spondylosis were randomly divided into two groups , which are the treatment group (by muscle meridian manipulation with small-angle sagittal localized rotational pulling of the neck) and the control group ( by tendon-soothing manipulation ) . The results showed that there were significant differences ( P< 0 . 01 ) in the comparison of cure rate after treatment . The total efficiency of the treatment group was 93 . 33%, and the control group was 70 . 00%. The treatment group showed better clinical effect with significant difference ( P < 0 . 05 ) . It was concluded that the application of muscle meridian manipulation with small-angle sagittal localized rotational pulling of the neck is maneuverable and time-saving in the treatment of cervical spondylosis . It has a remarkable therapeutic effect and is suitable for clinical application .
