Abstract

Objective

To observe the therapeutic effect of acupoint injection combined with traction for cervical radiculopathy.

Methods

A hundred and twenty-two patients with cervical radiculopathy were randomly divided into 3 groups, including an observation group (42 cases), an acupoint injection group (40 cases) and a traction group (40 cases). The patients in the first group received acupoint injection combined traction therapy, while the ones in the second and the third group received acupoint injection and traction respectively. The differences of therapeutic effect were evaluated after the treatments.

Results

The total effective rate of the observation group was 92.9%, while it was 72.5% in the acupoint injection group and 75.0% in the traction group. There were significant differences between the observation group and the other two groups respectively (P<0.05), but there was no statistic difference between the acupoint injection group and the traction group.

Conclusion

Acupoint injection combined with traction treatment was more effective for the cervical radiculopathy than either acupoint injection or traction.
