The Effect Of (?) Method Combined With PNF Stretching On The Pain And Soft Tissue Tension Of Cervical Spondylosis

Objective: By observing the VAS,tenderness threshold and soft tissue tension changes before and after the intervention of rolling-method,PNF stretching and the combination of rolling-method and PNF stretching for neck type of cervical spondylosis patients with neck pain,to explore the effect of the combination of PNF stretching and rolling-method to the pain and soft tissue tenderness of neck type cervical spondylosis.Methods: Sixty volunteers were randomly divided into three groups: PNF stretching group,rolling-method group and group of the combination of rolling-method and PNF stretching(experimental group),and given corresponding intervention respectively,once a day,three days in a row,then observing the change of pressure threshold and soft tissue tension before and after treatment.Results: 1.All VAS scores improved after treatment(P <0.01),but there was no difference among three groups(P >0.05);2.The difference of soft tissue tension after treatment in each group was statistically significant(P <0.05).After treatment,the difference of two cleidomastoidal point and the left sternocleidomastoid tension among groups was statistically significant(P <0.05),yet on right sternocleidomastoid was not(P >0.05);3.The difference of pressure threshold after treatment in each group was statistically significant(P <0.05).After treatment,the difference of two cleidomastoidal point and the left sternocleidomastoid pressure threshold among groups was statistically significant(P <0.05),yet on right sternocleidomastoid was not(P >0.05).Conclusion: The rolling method,PNF stretching and the rolling method combined with PNF stretching can effectively improve the VAS score,pressure threshold and soft tissue tension of a patient with cervical spondylosis,the rolling method combined with PNF stretching is more effective in improving the pressure threshold and soft tissue tension.
