Clinical Observation of Low-Temperature Plasma Radiofrequency Ablation Combined with Jingtong Granules on the Treatment of Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy
Objective:To explore the effect of low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation combined with Jingtong granules on the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Methods:80 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopa-thy from november 2020 to november 2023 were selected as observation subjects and randomly divided into two groups.The control group(40 cases)received low-temperature plasma nucleus pulposus radiofrequency ablation treatment,while the observation group(40 cases)received Jingtong granules treatment on the basis of the control group.The treatment time for both groups was 4 weeks.The clinical efficacy,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores for pain,chief complaint and symptom scores,neck disability index(NDI)scores,changes in cervical curvature and range of motion,levels of inflamma-tory factors,and quality of life between two groups were compared.Results:VAS scores,chief complaints and symptoms,NDI scores,serum hs-CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α were decreased at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment in both groups of patients compared with before treatment,while the curvature and mobility of the cervical spine,as well as the quality of life scores were increased compared to before treatment(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group had higher effective rates,cervical curvature and range of motion,quality of life scores,VAS scores and lower chief complaints and symptoms,NDI scores,serum hs-CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The application of low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation combined with Jingtong granules on the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy has a significant efficacy,which can effectively alleviate symptoms,improve cervical mobility,inhibit inflammation,and improve quality of life.
