Electrophysiological evaluation and effect analysis of Shujin Tongluo Granules in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy with stag-nation of qi and blood stasis type
Objective To observe the effect of Shujin Tongluo Granules on electrophysiological indexes of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR)with stagnation of qi and blood stasis type.Methods A total of 64 patients with CSR in the Department of Orthopedic Outpatient,Shijiazhuang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2021 to August 2022 were selected and they were divided into treatment group and control group according to random number table method,with 32 cases in each group.The control group took Methylcobalamin Tablets,and the treatment group took Shujin Tongluo Granules on the basis of the control group.The course of treatment was four weeks.F-wave latency,F-wave conduction velocity,F-wave occurrence rate,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,cervical spine Japanese Orthopaedic Society(JOA)score,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score before and after treatment and clinical efficacy were compared.Results In the control group,one patient fell out and 31 patients were eventually included,while in the treatment group,two patients fell out and 30 patients were eventually included.After treatment,F-wave latency of median nerve and ulnar nerve in both groups was shorter than that before treatment,and that in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the F-wave conduction velocity of median nerve and ulnar nerve in both groups was higher than that before treatment,and that in treatment group was higher than that in control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the cervical VAS and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of the two groups were lower than those before treatment,and those of the treatment group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the cervical spine JOA score of the two groups was higher than that before treatment,and that in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The clinical effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Shujin Tongluo Granules can improve nerve function and relieve pain in the treatment of CSR with stagnation of qi and blood stasis type,and the clinical effect is accurate.
