The scores of McGill pain questionnaire [MPQ, including three indexes： Pain rating index （PRI）, Visual analogue scale （VAS） and Present pain intensity （PPI） ] of patients before and after treatment were compared, therapeutic effct of cervical type of cervical spondylosis was evaluated. Results According to the comparison before and after treatment, the scores of PRI （29.44±9.26 vs13.15±7.04）, VAS （5.63±2.73 vs 1.23±1.15）, and PPI （3.00±1.24 vs 0.38±0.49） of patients with cervical type of cervical spondylosis reduced significantly （all P〈0.05）, indicating that the differences were statistically significant. Among 48 cases, cured 40 cases （83.33%）, markedly effective 4 cases （8.34%）, effective 3 cases （6.25%）, ineffective i case （2.08%）. The total effective rate was 97.92% （47/48）.
