摘要
Objective：To observe the therapeutic effects of acupuncture plus cupping therapy and Western medication alone for cervical radiculopathy.Methods：A total of 139 patients with cervical radiculopathy were randomly divided based on the random digital table into an acupuncture-cupping group（70 cases） and a Western medication group（69 cases）.In the acupuncture-cupping group,Fengchi（GB 20）（bilateral）,Dazhui（GV 14）,Jianjing（GB 21）（bilateral） and Jiaji（EX-B 2） points of the neck [bilateral,midpoint between Fengchi（GB 20） and Dazhui（GV 14）] were punctured.After the arrival of the needling sensation,bilateral Fengchi（GB 20） and Jianjing（GB 21） were linked with electric stimulation and the rest acupoints were manipulated with the moderate needling technique.In the retaining of the needles,TDP lamp radiation was used.After acupuncture,the cupping therapy was applied to the local area.The treatment was given once every other day,20 d for a course.After one course,the therapeutic effects were observed.The Western medication group was treated by oral administration of Meloxicam（Mobic）,7.5 mg,once a day,with water and liquid after meal.The therapeutic effects were observed after 20 d.Results：The total effective rate was 92.8% in the acupuncture-cupping group and 73.9% in the Western medication group,with a statistical difference between the two groups（P〈0.05）.After treatment,the scores of the clinical symptoms of the two groups were obviously declined（P〈0.01）,and the score of the clinical symptoms of the acupuncture-cupping group was better than that of the Western medication group,with a statistical difference（P〈0.05）.Conclusion：Acupuncture plus cupping therapy was more effective than administration of Meloxicam tablets alone in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy.
目的:观察针罐结合和单纯西药治疗神经根型颈椎病的疗效。方法:将139例神经根型颈椎病患者按随机数字表随机分为针罐组(70例)和西药组(69例)。针罐组针刺风池(双侧)、大椎、肩井(双侧)和颈夹脊穴(双侧,取风池和大椎穴连线的中点)。得气后,双侧风池和肩井接电针,其余穴位采用平补平泻法。留针期间配合T DP灯照射,针刺后予以局部拔罐。隔日治疗1次,20 d为1个疗程,1个疗程后观察疗效。西药组予口服美洛昔康片(莫比可),每次7.5 mg,每日1次,饭后用水或流质送服,20 d疗程后观察疗效。结果:针罐组总有效率为92.8%。西药组总有效率为73.9%,两组总有效率差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后,两组临床症状评分均较本组治疗前明显下降(P<0.01),针罐组临床症状评分优于西药组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:针罐结合治疗神经根型颈椎病的疗效优于单纯口服美洛昔康片。
