Clinical Study Of Mile-file Needle Retention In The Treatment Of Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy

Objective: By observing clinical curative effect of the mile-fire needle retention and swift pricking with a mile-fire needle treating cervical spondylosis radiculopathy(CSR),we discuss the validity of the mile-fire needle retention in the treatment of CSR.Methods: A total of 60 patients with CSR were selected according to the inclusion criteria.They were randomly divided into two groups,with 30 patients in each group.The observation group was treated with mile-fire needle retention,while the control group was treated with swift pricking with a mile-fire needle.The observation group was consistent with the control group in acupoint selection,the needle,the depth and direction of needle insertion.After needle insertion,the former retained the needle for 20 minutes,while the latter quickly released the needle.Both two groups were treated twice a week as a course of treatment.After 3 courses,the quantitative scores of VAS and symptoms and signs before and after treatment were observed in two groups,so as to judge the efficacy of two therapies in relieve pain,improve symptoms and signs,and improve the quality of life and work.Results:1.Comparison within groups: VAS and quantitative scores of symptoms and signs were significantly different between the two groups before and after treatment(P<0.01);Comparison between groups: after treatment,the VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05),and quantitative scores of symptoms and signs were higher than that of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.01).2.Total effective rate: After treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 86.7%,higher than that of the control group(73.3%).There was statistically significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion: 1.For patients with CSR,both therapies can effectively relieve pain,improve symptoms and signs,and improve the quality of life and work.2.The clinical curative effect of mile-fire needle retention in treating CSR is better than that of swift pricking with a mile-fire needle.
