Sleeping Pillow Therapy Of Clinical Research On Treatment Of Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of sleeping pillow therapy in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Method:From September31,2011to September31,2012, treatment of80cases of nerve root type of cervical spondylosis patients with sleep pillow method.39cases were male,41female; age20-60years old, average36years old. By using the method of self-control, all the patients were observed after treatment of cervical part is skin allergy, ecchymosis, whether there is injury of soft tissue of neck part, whether the neck soreness, or neck pain and other adverse reactions; before and after treatment, pain visual analogue scale (visual Analogue Scale, VAS), neck disability index score (the neck disability index, NDI) quantization, measured by Borden’s method of cervical curvature; with the State Administration of traditional Chinese medicine in1994promulgated the " standards of TCM syndrome diagnosis and treatment" effect on the overall evaluation.Result:1.Into the statistics of all cases before treatment VAS pain score(3.94-0.66), after12weeks of treatment(0.58±0.37)points, the pain was relieved or disappeared, pillow method to relieve pain obviously(t=39.42,P=0). Before treatment NDI score(12.28±0.44), after12weeks of treatment (4.72±0.72)%, the pillow of cervical function improved significantly (t=75.12,P=0). Treatment of anterior cervical curvature(3.05±3.94)mm,12weeks after the treatment(7.03±0.98)mm, significantly improved compared with before treatment (t=-25.04,P=0),pillow to close to the physiological curvature of cervical curvature.2.Evaluation of2curative effect:after2weeks of treatment,2cases were cured (2.50%), improved in58cases (72.5%), failure in20cases (25%), with an efficiency of75%. Evaluation after4weeks of treatment efficacy:4cases were cured (2%), improved in59cases (73.75%), failure in17cases (21.25%), with an efficiency of78.75%. Evaluation after12weeks of treatment efficacy:11cases were cured (13.75%), improved in55cases (68.75%), failure in14cases (17.50%), with an efficiency of82.50%. 3.No other adverse reactions of80cases of adverse reactions in patients after statistical analysis in addition to the neck swelling symptoms. There were5cases of neck swelling symptoms after treatment, after a period of adjustment and neck swelling symptoms disappeared, accounted for6.25%, showing a good safety.Conclusion:1.Arc-shaped white tea pillow shape, the elastic modulus and the front of the neck in accord with human body biomechanical requirements, can make the cervical vertebra in the rest position, provide opportunities for the restoration of cervical spine and its surrounding tissues.2.Pillow method for treatment of nerve root type cervical spondylosis can obviously improve the symptom of pain and function in patients with neck, so close to the physiological curvature of cervical curvature.3.By manpower, funds are limited, this study has certain limitations, the pillow height, elastic modulus, fabric comfort and Fuding white tea effect and size, lack of in-depth, basic research, hope to get the improvement in the future research.
