McKenzie法在神经根型颈椎病中的应用

Application of McKenzie technique in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy

目的探讨McKenzie法在神经根型颈椎病患者中的应用效果。方法将72例神经根型颈椎病患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组36例。2组均采用牵引、中频电疗、超声波治疗,观察组加用McKenzie法,对照组加用传统推拿疗法。治疗前、后用目测类比法(VAS)评定疼痛程度、并进行McKenzie法运动能力缺失程度评定及治疗后的临床疗效评定,1年后随访复发率、坚持McKenzie运动的情况。结果2组治疗后临床有效率高,VAS评分显著降低(P<0.01),但2组比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。观察组的颈椎活动度显著改善(P<0.01),1年后复发率显著低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论McKenzie法对神经根型颈椎病患者的治疗效果好,预防复发优于传统推拿疗法。

Objective To compare the effect of the McKenzie method and traditional manipulation in the treatment of patient with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Methods Seventy-two patients (42 women and 30 men with an average age of 42.60±13.73 years ) were randomly divided into 2 groups: an observation group and a control group. Both groups were given cervical traction, medium frequency electrotherapy and ultrasound therapy. In addition, the observation group was also treated with the McKenzie techniques, while the control group was treated by traditional manipulation. All the subjects were evaluated in terms of the clinical effect, VAS(Visual analog scale), McKenzie′s movement loss. The 1-year follow-up results were obtained. Results Both groups got a good therapeutic effect( the cure rate was 69% and 55.5%, respectively) and significant pain relief (P<0.01). No significantly difference was revealed between the 2 groups in terms of the clinical effect and VAS(P>0.05). Range of motion of the cervical spine of the observation group was significantly improved after the treatment(P<0.01). The recurrence rate of the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The McKen-zie technique has as good effect in treatment of patients with as, and superior effect in preventing recurrence of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, to the traditional manipulation.
