颈夹脊穴针刺深度对颈椎病疗效的影响

Effect of Different Needling Depths on the Therapeutic Efficacy of Acupuncture at Cervical Jiaji Points(Ex-B 2) for Cervical Spondylosis

目的观察颈夹脊穴针刺不同深度对颈椎病疗效的影响。方法将60例颈椎病患者随机分为治疗组和对照组,每组30例。两组均采用针刺颈夹脊穴治疗,治疗组直刺0.3～0.6寸,对照组直刺1.0～1.3寸。比较两组临床疗效。结果两组治疗后颈椎功能评分及总有效率比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论在得气的基础上,颈夹脊穴针刺深度对颈椎病的疗效无显著性差异。

Objective To observe the effect of deferent needling depths on the treatment efficacy during acupuncture at cervical Jiaji points （Ex-B 2） in treating cervical spondylosis. Method Sixty patients with cervical spondylosis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The two groups both received acupuncture at cervical Jiaji points （Ex-B 2）, 0.340.6 of depth in the treatment group versus 1.041.3 cun in the control group. The two groups were compared with each other in treatment efficacy. Result After treatment, there were no significant differences between the two groups in comparing cervical function and total effective rate （P〉0.05）. Conclusion Given that there is needling sensation, changes of acupuncture depth at cervical Jiaji points （Ex-B 2） do not make any obvious differences to the therapeutic efficacy in treating cervical spondylosis.
