Objective:To observe the clinical effect of combined intermittent traction with warm needling for cervical radiculopathy.Methods:A total of 100 cases with cervical radiculopathy were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group.Cases in the observation group were treated with intermittent traction coupled with warm needling,whereas cases in the control group were treated with warm needling alone.The therapeutic efficacy was observed after 20-day treatment.Results:The markedly effective rate in total was 90.0%in the observation group,versus 78.0%in the control group,showing a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion:Combining intermittent traction with warm needling is safe,convenient and significantly effective for cervical radiculopathy.It is worth further popularization in clinical practice.
