Cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy treated with Xianlinggubao capsules,Mecobalamin tablets,manipulation and cervical traction / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the curative effect of Xianlinggubao capsules combined with mecobalamin tablets,manipulation and cervical traction in treatment of cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy(CSR).Methods Forty-eight cases CSR patients who were treated in Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology from February 2013 to May 2015 were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,each group with 24 cases.All patients were treated with manipulation,cervical traction and mecobalamin tablets(0.5 mg,3 times/d),treatment group received Xianlinggubao capsule(1.5 g,2 times/d)for 21 d.Nervous pain was valued with short-form of McGill questionnaire(SF-MPQ),the difference between the two groups before and after treatment was compared with that before treatment,the pain rating index(PRI),the fuzzy pain rating scale(VAS)and the current degree of pain(PPI).Table 20 quantitative analysis of symptoms of cervical spondylosis of nerve root type was applied to assess the comprehensive evaluation of symptoms and signs,the curative effect was calculate(before and after treatment,and the ratio of the integral before treatment)of the omnibus symptoms and signs.The curative ratio and the healing time were calculated.Results The treatment group McGill in PRI,VAS and PPI score difference were significantly higher than the control group((6.16±1.94)points vs(4.87±2.12)points,(5.23±2.22)points vs.(3.63±1.74)points,(2.76±0.87)points vs.(1.26±1.01)points),the differences were statistically significant(P=0.02,0.03,0.04).Table 20 quantitative analysis index of treatment was significant higher than control group(0.72±0.15 vs.0.37±0.07),the differences were statistically significant(t=1.31,P＜0.05).The curative ratio of treatment group was much higher in control group(70.83％(17/24)vs.45.83％(11/24)),the differences were statistically significant(x2=8.15,P=0.02).The treatment group gained shorter healing time((8.31±3.11)d vs.(11.24±4.52)d,t=3.36,P=0.01).Conclusion Assured curative effect was found in Xianlinggubao capsules combined with mecobalamin tablets,manipulation and cervical traction for cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy.
