Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of deer play of Wu Qin Xi on cervical mobility, TCM symptoms and anxiety in elderly patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.
Methods:Sixty patients with orthopaedic inpatients from June 2017 to June 2018 were enrolled. In the 6 to December 2017, 30 inpatients who met the criteria were selected as the control group, and 30 patients who met the criteria from January to June 20 were the intervention group. Two groups of patients were treated with conventional nursing, and the intervention group was treated with deer play on the basis of the control group. Cervical dysfunction index (NDI) was compared before intervention, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after intervention; clinical symptoms and signs and neck activity were compared before intervention and 2 weeks after intervention; anxiety scores were compared before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention (GAD-7).
Results:The NDI scores of the intervention group were 19.23±2.19 and 9.23±1.85 at 2 and 4 weeks respectively. The scores of the control group were 21.37±1.40 and 11.63±2.95, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (t=3.77-4.49, P<0.05). After 2 weeks of intervention, the clinical symptoms and signs and neck activity of the intervention group were 5.47±1.78, 19.17±1.26, 4.87±0.78, 11.50±1.46, the control group were 7.40±2.53, 16.23±1.87, 6.17±1.26, 13.17±1.56, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-7.12-4.81, P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the GAD-7 score of the intervention group was 1.07±0.20, and the control group was 1.56±0.29. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=6.55, P<0.05).
Conclusion:Luxi can improve the symptoms of neck pain in elderly patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, improve cervical function and relieve anxiety.
