Analysis of Therapeutic Efficacy and Impact on Cervical Spine Joint Mobility of Posterior Percutaneous Endoscopic Minimally Invasive Intervention Combined with Acupuncture in the Treatment of Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy
Objective:To determine the application value of posterior percutaneous endoscopic minimally invasive intervention combined with acupuncture in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR).Methods:A total of 60 patients with CSR were divided into two groups using simple randomization.The con-trol group(n=30)underwent posterior percutaneous endoscopic minimally invasive intervention,while the ob-servation group(n=30)received both posterior percutaneous endoscopic minimally invasive intervention and acupuncture treatment.The therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups using symptom scores,physical signs,cervical function scores,and cervical range of motion(ROM)as evaluation indicators.Results:At 4 and 8 weeks after treatment,the observation group had higher symptom and physical sign scores than the control group(P<0.05).The cervical function scores were lower in the observation group compared to the control group(P<0.05).Furthermore,the cervical ROM(flexion-extension and rotation)was higher in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Posterior percutaneous endoscopic minimally invasive intervention combined with acupuncture can effectively improve symptoms and physical signs,enhance cervical function,and increase cervical ROM in patients with CSR.This combined treatment ap-proach is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
