摘要
OBJECTIVE： To ascertain if it is effective to use extradural injections and manual repositioning of the spine to treat megalgia caused by cervical spondy- Iotic radiculopathy （CSR）. METHODS： Patients with megalgia caused by CSR were divided into a treatment group （n=46） treated by extradural injection and manual repositioning of the spine and a control group （n=46） treated by a conventional method. RESULTS： The prevalence of cure was 58.69% and the total prevalence of effective cure in the treatment group was 97.83% and was 23.91% and 78.26%, respectively, in the control group： this difference between the two groups was significant （P〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Treatment of megalgia caused by CSR by extradural injections and manual repositioning of the spine has a good curative effect with rapid analgesia and short therapeutic course.
