From the perspective of Chinese medicine meridian theory, the pathological changes and treatment of cervical spondylosis are closely related to the theory of the meridian tendon, and acupuncture has advantages in improving the injury of the meridian tendon. Most of the studies reported that acupuncture and moxibustion applied the theory of me-ridian tendons to treat cervical spondylosis significantly. This paper summarized the research methods of acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of cervical spondylosis under the guid-ance of the theory of meridian tendons in recent years, providing theoretical ideas and references for acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
