The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between chronic neck and shoulder pain and spinal sagittal alignment in standing posture in younger generation. Methods: Subjects included 57 females and 32 males (average age, 29.9 ± 5.7 years). All subjects were 20s or 30s. Spinal curvature was assessed using SpinalMouse. The subjects were also divided into a normal group (VAS zero group) and a pain group by VAS results. Statistical analysis was performed by Student’s t-test. Significance was defined as p < 0.05. Results: The normal group and pain group included 29 and 60 subjects, respectively. In terms of location of pain, thirty-one subjects felt neck pain, 50 felt pain above the scapula, and 17 felt pain between the thoracic spine and scapula. Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis in the pain group were significantly higher than those in the normal group (p = 0.013 and p = 0.020, respectively). Thoracic kyphosis in subjects with neck pain or pain above scapula was significantly higher than that in subjects without pain (p = 0.0075 and p = 0.025, respectively). Lumbar lordosis in subjects with pain above the scapula or interscapula was significantly higher than that in subjects without pain (p = 0.016).展开更多
目的:探讨针刺联合三步七法推拿对颈肩腰腿痛(neck,shoulder,waist and leg pain,NSWLP)肾虚血瘀证患者颈肩腰腿活动功能的影响。方法:将NSWLP肾虚血瘀证患者112例按照随机数字表法分为对照组和观察组各56例。对照组予西医常规干预方案...目的:探讨针刺联合三步七法推拿对颈肩腰腿痛(neck,shoulder,waist and leg pain,NSWLP)肾虚血瘀证患者颈肩腰腿活动功能的影响。方法:将NSWLP肾虚血瘀证患者112例按照随机数字表法分为对照组和观察组各56例。对照组予西医常规干预方案,观察组在对照组基础上采取针刺联合三步七法推拿治疗,连续治疗4周后比较两组患者疼痛程度,颈椎、肩关节、腰椎、膝关节功能以及临床疗效。结果:治疗4周后,两组患者视觉模拟量表(visual analogue scale,VAS)评分均降低(P<0.01),观察组降低更明显(P<0.01);两组患者颈椎病临床评价量表(cervical spondylosis clinical evaluation scale,CASCS)、Constant-Murley欧美肩关节评分法(constant-murley score,C-M)、日本骨科协会(Japanese Orthopaedic Association,JOA)评分、Lysholm评分均升高,观察组升高更明显(P<0.01);观察组总有效率为94.64%(53/56),高于对照组的80.36%(45/56)(P<0.05)。结论:西医常规治疗基础上予针刺联合三步七法推拿治疗NSWLP肾虚血痧证疗效更佳,可进一步减轻患者疼痛,改善颈肩腰腿活动功能。展开更多
