To study the clinical observation on the treatment of cervical spondylosis by acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Modified Guizhi Jia Gegen Decoction(桂枝加葛根汤加减)guided by the meridian tendons theory.
Eighty-two patients diagnosed as cervical spondylosis were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table. Forty-one cases in the reference group were treated with Modified Guizhi Jia Gegen Decoction, and forty-one cases in the study group were treated with acupuncture and moxibustion and Modified Guizhi Jia Gegen Decoction based on the theory of meridian tendons. The clinical efficacy, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores, scales scores and inflammatory indexes of the two groups were observed and compared.
Compared with that of the reference group, the total effective rate of the study group was 97.56%(40/41), higher than that(75.61%, 31/41)of the reference group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment, the TCMsyndrome scores of the study group were lower than those of the reference group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment, compared with those of the reference group, the pain visual analogue scale(VAS)and cervical dysfunction index scale(NDI)were lower in the study group, and the joint motion rating(ROM)and manual muscle strength rating(MMT)were higher in the study group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)in the study group were lower than those in the reference group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).
For patients with cervical spondylosis, acupuncture and moxibustion guided by the theory of meridian tendons combined with Modified Guizhi Jia Gegen Decoction can effectively improve the therapeutic effect, relieve the clinical symptoms, reduce the inflammatory response and promote the recovery of the patients, with high clinical application value.
