Objective:To compare the clinical effect differences of biān(砭)stone hot compress combined with acupuncture at cervical Jiājǐ(夹脊EX-B2)acupoint and simple acupuncture at cervical EX-B2 for axial pain after cervical laminectomy with implant fixation(LIF)operation.Methods:A total of 80 patients with axial pain after cervical LIF operation were randomly assigned into the biān(砭)stone hot compress combined with acupuncture at cervical EX-B2 group(Group A)and the acupuncture at cervical EX-B2 group(Group B),and 40 patients in each group.The group A was treated by biān(砭)stone hot compress and acupuncture at cervical EX-B2,while the group B was treated by acupuncture at cervical EX-B2.Both of groups were treated once a day,one course of treatment consisted of 7 days,6-day treatment plus 1-day rest,and there were 3 courses of treatment in total.The pain score(Visual analogue scale,VAS),neck dysfunction indices(NDI),and serum creatine phosphokinase(CPK)levels of patients were compared before and after the treatment,and their clinical effects were evaluated.Results:The VAS score,NDI,and CPK in patients of the two groups after treatment were all lower than those before treatment(all P<0.05),and the indicators in the group A after treatment were all lower than those in the group B after treatment(all P<0.05).The effective rate in the group A was 92.5%,higher than that(77.5%)in the group B,and there was statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusions:The biān(砭)stone hot compress combined with acupuncture at cervical EX-B2 acupoint was better than acupuncture at cervical EX-B2 alone in treatment of axial pain after cervical LIF operation.In the group A,therapeutic effects were improved by relieving pain,improving neck function,and repairing muscle injury.
