Abstract
Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygenation for cervical spondylosis of nerve root type in acute phase.
Methods: One hundred cases with cervical spondylosis of nerve root type in acute phase were randomly divided into two groups, with 50 patients in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated by acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygenation, and those in the control group only received the same acupuncture therapy as the treatment group. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 2 courses of treatment.
Results: In the treatment group, 27cases were cured, 9 cases showed markedly effective, and 4 cases were invalid, and the recovery rate was 67.5%, the total effective rate was 90.0%; in the control group, 18 cases were cured, 17 cases showed markedly effective, 15 cases were invalid, and the recovery rate was 36.0%, the total effective rate was 70.0%. There were statistically significant differences between two groupsin the recovery rate and the total effective rate (bothP<0.05). The average cure time of the treatment group was (15.56±7.13) d, and that of the control group was (22.13±7.78) d, which also had significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygenationhas rapid and reliable effects for cervical spondylosis of nerve root type in acute phase.
