夹脊穴温针配合梅花针叩刺治疗神经根型颈椎病疗效观察(英文)

Efficacy observation on cervical spondylosis of nerve root type treated by the warm needling at Jiájǐ(夹脊EX-B 2) and tapping with plum-blossom needle

目的：观察夹脊穴温针灸配合梅花针治疗神经根型颈椎病的临床疗效。方法：将150例神经根型颈椎病患者随机分为针灸组75例和对照组75例。针灸组采用夹脊温针配合梅花针叩刺治疗,选取病变节段的夹脊穴,温针灸20~30 min,然后用梅花针于针刺穴位周围皮肤叩刺,每个部位叩刺3 min,每日1次,7次一疗程,休息1 d,继续下一疗程。对照组采用药物配合牵引治疗,以5%葡萄糖250 mL加复方丹参注射液40 mL静脉滴注,每日1次;牵引时取坐位,颈前屈15°~30°,牵引力为体质量的10%~20%,每次20-30 min,每日1次。两组在治疗3个疗程后由专人进行疗效评定。结果：针灸组临床治愈率为49.3%（37/75）,总有效率为94.7%（71/75）,对照组临床治愈率为24.0%（18/75）,总有效率为81.3%（61/75）,针灸组总有效率及临床治愈率均优于对照组（P〈0.05）;两组痊愈患者中疗程与疗效比较显示,针灸组1个疗程内治愈率高于对照组（P〈0.05）;两组痊愈患者6个月后随访比较,针灸组疗效更为稳定（P〈0.05）。结论：夹脊温针配合梅花针叩刺治疗神经根型颈椎病疗效显著。

Objective To observe the clinical effect on cervical spondylosis of nerve root type treated by warm needling therapy at Jiáj （夹脊 EX-B 2） and plum-blossom needle therapy. Methods According to the random number table, 150 cases of cervical spondylosis of nerve root type were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group （75 cases） and a control group （75 cases）. In the acupuncture-moxibustion group, the warm needling at EX-B 2 and tapping with plum-blossom needle were applied. EX-B 2 on the affected segments were selected and stimulated with warm needling technique for 20– 30 min. Afterward, the plum-blossom needle was used to tap the skin around the acupoints, for 3 min on each site. The treatment was given once every day. Seven treatments made one session. The interval between two sessions was 1 day. In the control group, the medication was used in combination with traction therapy. The intravenous drip with 5% glucose 250 mL and compound salvia miltiorrhiza injection 40 mL was used, once a day. In traction treatment, the patient was in a sitting position, neck anteflexion at 15°–30°, traction force at 10%–20% of the body mass, for 20–30 min in each time. The treatment was given once every day. The appointed person evaluated therapeutic effects after the three sessions of treatment in the two groups. Results The clinical curative rate was 49.3% （37/75） and the total effective rate was 94.7% （71/75） in the acupuncture-moxibustion group and those were 24.0% （18/75） and 81.3% （61/75） respectively in the control group. The total effective rate and clinical curative rate in the acupuncture-moxibustion group were superior to the control group （both P0.05）. In the comparison of the duration of treatment and effect in the cured patients between the two groups, the curative rate in the 1st session of treatment in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was higher than that in the control group （P0.05）. In the comparison of the 6-month follow-up visit in the cured patients between the two groups, the effect in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was much more stable （P0.05）. Conclusion The warm needling therapy at EX-B 2 and tapping therapy with plum-blossom needle achieve the significant effect on cervical spondylosis of nerve root type.
