Clinical Study of Neck-Waist Meridian-Sinew Warming-Dredging Method in Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis of Cervical Type due to Cold-Dampness Obstruction
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of neck-waist meridian-sinew warming-dredging method in treatment of cervical spondylosis of cervical type due to cold-dampness obstruction.Methods:64 cases of cervical spondylosis of cervical type due to cold-dampness obstruction were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,with 32 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture;on which basis,the observation group was also treated with neck-waist meridian-sinew warming-dredging therapy.Both groups were treated once every other day,5 times as a course,a total of two courses of treatment.The two groups were evaluated before the treatment,after one course and two courses of the treatment,respectively.The patients were followed up one month after the treatment,and the clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Results:In terms of intra-group comparison,there was no statistical significance in NPQ score between during the follow-up and after 2 courses of treatment(P＞0.05),but there was statistical significance in the remaining time period(P＜0.05);the scores of simple McGill Pain Scale(SF-MPQ),pain grading index(PRI)and TCM symptoms were statistically significant at different time periods(P＜0.05);after 1 course and 2 courses of treatment and during the follow-up,the scores of visual analog scale(VAS)and present pain intensity(PPI)were decreased compared with those before the treatment in the two groups(P＜0.05).In terms of inter-group comparison,the scores of NPQ,PRI,VAS,PPI and SF-MPQ were lower in the observation group than those in the control group after 1 course and 2 courses of treatment and during the follow-up(P＜0.05);the TCM symptoms score was lower in the observation group than that in the control group after 2 courses of treatment and during the follow-up(P＜0.05).The remarkable curative effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05),and the total effective rate was 100％(32/32)in both groups.Conclusion:Both conventional acupuncture and neck-waist meridian-sinew warming-dredging method can effectively treat cervical spondylosis of the cervical type,but the latter takes effect more quickly,has advantages in improving pain-related daily dysfunction and adjusting pain-related emotional cognition,and the curative effect lasted for longer time.
