ABSTRACT

Objective: To introduce electroacupuncture (EA) treatment on cervical spondylosis radiculopathy (CSR) at home and abroad in the prior ten years. Methods: EA, combined EA and other treatments for NCS are classified and analyzed. Results: The most commonly used acupoints are JiaJi (Ex-B2), Fengchi (GB 20), Waiguan (TE 5), Quchi (LI 11). EA is widely applied to treat CSR because of its definite therapeutic effects and safety. Conclusion: The validity of other evaluation indexes needs to be proved by more rigorously designed randomized controlled trials (RCT) with scientific methods.
