ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling moxibustion plus spine subtle adjusting manipulation for cervical radiculopathy. Methods: A total of 70 patients with cervical radiculopathy were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 35 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with warm needling moxibustion plus spine subtle adjusting manipulation, while the control group was treated with warm needling moxibustion alone. The treatments were performed three times a week, and for four weeks in total. The visual analog scale (VAS) was scored before and after treatment. And the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 97.1% in the observation group, versus 88.6% in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS scores in both groups significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Warm needling moxibustion plus spine subtle adjusting manipulation has a better effect in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy than warm needling moxibustion alone.
