Guan Sting Method And The Clinical Curative Effect Of Electric Acupuncture Treatment Of Cervical Spondylosis Of Nerve Root Type Of Quantitative Evaluation

Objective:to study the clinical effects of joint needling in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Methods:80cases were randomly divided into treatment group (n=40) treated by joint needling with electroacupuncture and controlled group (n=40) treated by regular needling with electroacupuncture.3cases fell off in the follow-up. In the study, MPQ, NDI, and SF-36scale were applied to evaluate the effects of the two therapies.Results:The total effective rate was92.5%, with a12.5%curative rate and a52.5%effective rate in the treatment group, while the rate was correspondently82.5%,7.5%, and42.5%in the controlled group. The difference of total effective rate between the two groups was of no statistic significance (p>0.05), while the curative rate and effective rate was of statistic significance (p<0.05). For MPQ, NDI and SF-36, the difference between the two groups in the first, the second and the entire course of treatment were of statistic significance (p<0.05).Conclusions:1. Both of two therapies could improve patients’ clinical symptoms.2. After the first course of treatment, both of two therapies could improve patients’ clinical symptoms, while the treatment group was much better than the controlled group.3. After the second course of treatment, both of two therapies could improve patients’clinical symptoms, while the treatment group was better than the controlled group.4. The treatment group was better than the controlled group in the onset time. Joint needling with electroacupuncture was effective and easy to operate.
