Objective: To observe the clinical effect of tuina for cervical intervertebral disc herniation. Methods: Eighty seven cases were randomized into a treatment and a control group. 39 cases in the treatment group were treated with tuina manipulation, while 48 cases in the control group were treated with combined cervical traction and medium-frequency impulse. Cases in both groups were treated 3 times a week, and 10 times constitute a course of treatment. Results: Of 39 cases in the treatment group, 22 obtained recovery, 13 obtained marked effects and 4 obtained improvement, manifesting a marked effect rate of 89.7% and an effective rate of 100.0%. Of 48 cases in the control group, 23 obtained recoveries, 17obtained marked effects, 7 obtained improvements and 1 saw no improvement, manifesting a marked effect rate of 83.3% and an effective rate of 97.9%. There were no statistical differences in the marked effect rate and total effective rate. Cases in the treatment group were treated 17.8 times on average, while cases in the control group were treated 26.6 times on average. Conclusion: Despite the equivalent effects in the treatment of cervical intervertebral disc herniation, tuina is superior to combined traction and medium-frequency impulse in terms of a faster effect and shorter course of treatment.
