摘要
Objective: To compare the therapeutic efficacies of point-towards-point electroacupuncture(EA), EA with Jiaji points(EX-B 2), and Jing Fu Kang in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR), and to explore the optimal treatment protocol. Methods: Totally 160 patients with CSR were randomized into three groups: a point-towards-point group(n=60) treated with EA with point-towards-point method; a Jiaji group(n=60) treated with EA at cervical Jiaji(EX-B 2) points; a medicine group(n=40) treated with oral administration of Jing Fu Kang alone. The clinical efficacies were compared afterwards. Results: After treatment, the recovery rate and total effective rate of the point-towards-point group were significantly better than that of the Jiaji group and medicine group(both P<0.01). After 1-week treatment, the symptom and function score of the point-towards-point group was significantly better than that of the Jiaji group and medicine group(both P<0.01); the point-towards-point group and Jiaji group both achieved significant improvements in the symptom and function score(P<0.01, P<0.05). After 2-week treatment, the three groups all achieved marked improvements in the symptom and function score(P<0.01). At the end of treatment, in comparing the symptom and function score, the point-towards-point group was significantly different from the medicine group(P<0.01) and Jiaji group(P<0.05); the difference between the Jiaji group and medicine group was also statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion: Point-towards-point EA can rapidly improve the symptoms and function of CSR patients, and it's superior to EA at Jiaji(EX-B 2) and oral administration of Jing Fu Kang in comparing the clinical efficacy.
