Neurac训练治疗神经根型颈椎病的随机对照研究

The Therapeutic Effect of Neurac Training on Patients with Cervical Radiculopathy:a Randomized Control Trial

目的探讨Neurac训练对神经根型颈椎病(cervical radiculopathy,CR)的临床疗效。方法纳入60例符合研究标准的CR患者,随机分为Neurac治疗组和对照组。对照组接受每周2次颈椎牵引、手法治疗和电疗。Neurac治疗组除了接受上述治疗外,同时接受Neurac训练。在治疗前、治疗后1周和2周对两组患者进行数字疼痛评分(numerical pain rating scale,NPRS)和颈部功能受限指数(neck disability index,NDI)评分。结果治疗后两组NPRS和NDI评分均较治疗前改善(P<0.05)。Neurac治疗组改善程度大于对照组(P<0.05)。结论 Neurac训练可增加牵引、手法和电疗治疗对CR的效果。

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of Neurac training on patients with cervical radiculopathy （CR）. Methods Sixty patients with CR were enrolled and randomly assigned into control group （CG） and Neurac training group （NG） with 30 patients for each group. The patients in CG group received conventional treatments for 2 weeks, including cervical traction, manual therapy and electrical therapy. The patients in NG group received Neurac training as well as conservative treatments for 2 weeks. The pain level and it impact on daily life were assessed by the numerical pain rating scale （NPRS） and the neck disability index （NDI） before the treatments and at the time of 1 week, 2 weeks after the treatments, respectively. Results Following the treatment, significant improvements for NPRS and NDI were observed in both the two groups at the end of the first and second week. The improvements for both NPRS and NDI were higher in the NG than those in the CG, with P〈0. 05. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that Neurac training can bring additional therapeutic benefits to conventional treatments for patients with CR.
