A Clinical Research For Treating Pain Of Cervical Spondylosis With Diffent Moxibustion

ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of cervical spondylosis and neck pain with moxa cone and moxa roll moxibustion in order to explore an sustained and effective method of treatment.MetheodUse the design of balance randomized controlled trial, in accordance with the1:1ratio through PEMS3.1package randomly set up the moxa cone and moxa roll moxibustion group35of each. Selection of points are used to the local department commonly used in the treatment of cervical spondylosis neck pain points:Bailao (both sides), dazhui, Jianzhongshu (both sides). moxibustion with moxa cone:using molds to make the moxa into grain size moxa cone, wick bottom diameter of0.5cm,0.5cm high wick. Smear a small amount of universal oil on moxibustion points, so that it can adhere on the skin, and then the grain size of moxa cone placed in the moxibustion points, use the joss stick to light it up, leave it spontaneous combustion, till the moxa cone burning close to the skin. Use a clamp to remove the unburned moxa cone when the patient has a warm feeling or a slight burning pain. Then apply the2nd moxa cone. Total5moxa cones.moxibustion with moxa stick:The moxa roll is ignited moxibustion acupoint, about the2-3cm from the skin. Let the patient felling warm but burning. Each Acupoint about5minutes, skin moist degree to blush for. The treatment was totally10times for one course and must be completed within one month. There were at least24hours between every two treatment. Respectively, before treatment, the5th treatment, the end of treatment and follow-up month four different observation point in the Northwick Park neck pain Scale (NPQ), the short form McGill pain scale score to observe the same group before and after treatment and the difference between the two groups at the same observation time, and record adverse reactions and side effects in the course of the study, using the unified software SPSS13.0software cervical descriptive analysis, chi-square test and t test.Results1、General situation of the patients before treatment comparing between the the Moxa string moxibustion group and eaglewood Moxa stick moxibustion group, including age, gender, prior treatment history, education level, duration of disease, diagnosis and TCM syndrome type and efficacy indicators of including NPQ neck pain scale and simple McGill pain scale scores were no significant differences (P>0.05) which is comparable.2、At the end of the treatment,the total effective rates of Moxa string moxibustion and Moxa stick moxibustion are94.12%and84.84%. A month after the treatment, the effeectiv rates of the two groups are97.06%and81.81%. There was statistic differeces between the two groups (P<0.05).3、By doing the paired test, the scores of NPQ and MPQ decrease both during the treatment and one month after the treatment, and the comparison difference of both NPQ score and MPQ score are highly statistically significant(P<0.05), showing both methods are effective for treating neck pain. By doing the independent sample t test and comparing the two groups at the same observation time point,there are significant defferences at the5th treatment, the end of treatment and follow-up of a month(P<0.05), indicating the dfficacy of the moxibustion with moxa cone is better than moxibustion with moxa stick.ConclusionBoth moxibustion with moxa cone and moxibustion with moxa stick treatment to cervical spondylosis neck pain are obvious effective;By comparing the short-term and long-term efficacy, dfficacy of the moxibustion with moxa cone is better than moxibustion with moxa stick.
