Clinical Observation of Warm Acupuncture Combined with Traction in Treating Cervical Spondylotic Ra-diculopathy with Cold-dampness Blockage
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of warm acupuncture combined with traction in treat-ing cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Methods:A total of 104 cases were randomly divided into the combined group(52 cases)and the control group(52 cases).The control group received traction treatment,and the combined group was treated with warm acupuncture treatment combined with traction.After two weeks of continuous treat-ment,the clinical efficacy,TCM syndrome score,cervical spine function,pain,life quality and treatment safety were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate of the combined group(94.23％)was sig-nificantly higher than that of the control group(78.85％)(P＜0.05).After treatment,TCM syndrome scores,NDI score and VAS score of the two groups were lower(P＜0.05),and the combination group was lower than the con-trol group(P＜0.05).The CASCA score and the SF-36 score after treatment of two groups were higher than those before treatment.These scores in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group.There was no statistically significant difference in the incidenice of adverse reactions between the two group(P＞0.05).Conclu-sion:Warm acupuncture combined with traction can further relieve symptoms,improve the function of cervical ver-tebra,and improve the quality of life with good safety.
