Study on the intervention effect of Li's flint acupuncture combined with acupoint application on cervical spondylosis
Objective To explore the intervention effect of Li's flint acupuncture(Hufu Tongbian scraping therapy)combined with acupoint application on cervical spondylosis.Methods 170 patients with cervical spondylosis were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 85 cases in each group.Patients in the control group received acupoint application,and patients in the observation group received Li's flint acupuncture on the basis of acupoint application.The neck pain and dysfunction,cervical range of motion before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment,and overall remission were compared between the two groups.Results After 4 weeks of treatment,the scores of Northwick Park neck pain questionnaire(NPQ)and neck disability index(NDI)in both groups were lower than those before treatment;the observation group had NPQ score of(23.17±2.79)points and NDI score of(30.06±4.25)points,which were lower than(25.08±3.41)and(33.17±4.68)points in the control group;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the range of motion of left rotation,right rotation,left flexion and right flexion in both groups were greater than those before treatment;the range of motion of left rotation,right rotation,left flexion and right flexion were(57.88±7.51),(57.93±8.65),(38.85±5.77)and(35.71±5.36)°,which were greater than(54.10±6.23),(50.28±7.41),(34.61±5.49)and(32.58±4.59)° in the control group;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the rate of overall remission was 98.82%in the observation group,which was higher than 90.59%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Li's flint acupuncture combined with acupoint application can effectively reduce the symptoms and signs of cervical spondylosis patients,increase cervical range of motion and improve the overall curative effect.
