Therapeutic Effect Observation on the Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis Using the Pressing Acupuncture Points and Exercises
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of pressing acupuncture points and exercises therapy on the treatment of cervical spondylosis.Methods:84 patients with ccervical spondylosis were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups using random number table method,42 cases in the control group and 42 cases in the observation group.The control group was treated with routine massage,and the observation group was treated with pressing acupuncture points and exercises therapy.After 4 weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the patients was comprehensively evaluated by the scores of visual analogue scale(VAS),pressure-pain threshold,soft-tissue tension value,cervical spine mobility,neck disability in-dex(NDI),and so on.Results:Finally,42 cases in the control group and 42 cases in the observation group completed the observation.Compared with the same group,after 4 weeks of treatment,the scores of VAS,pressure pain threshold,soft tissue tension,cervical spine mobility,NDI of both groups improved compared with the former(P<0.001),meanwhile,compared between the two groups,there were differences in scores of VAS,pressure pain threshold,soft tissue tension,cervical spine mobility,NDI,and therapeutic efficacy,and the observation group was better than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Pressing acupuncture points and exercises therapy can reduce the pain of cervical spondylosis,meanwhile improve the soft tissue tension and elasticity,in-crease the neck mobility,which is favorable to the recovery of cervical spondylosis.
