Objective To explore the functional improvement effect of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy of traditional Chinese medicine(mainly acupuncture on the three yang meridians of the hand,moxibustion on the governor vessel,and moxibustion through drugs)on cervical spondylosis of wind cold blocking collateral type.Methods 120 patients with wind cold obstruction type cervical spondylosis admitted to our hospital from July 2021 to July 2023 were randomly divided into two groups,with 60 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The control group was treated with conventional cervical traction,while the observation group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion on the basis of the control group(mainly acupuncture at the hand Sanyang meridian+moxibustion at the governor's meridian+moxibustion through drugs).Compare the TCM syndrome scores,NDI,HO-1,LpPLA2,clinical efficacy,adverse reactions,hospitalization costs,and duration between two groups.Results After 4 weeks of treatment,the effective rate of disease in the observation group with wind cold obstructing cervical spondylosis(96.67%)was higher than that in the control group(83.33%),while the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,NDI score,HO-1,LpPLA2 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).No adverse reactions were observed in both groups.Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion therapy(mainly acupuncture of the three yang meridians of the hand,governor vessel moxibustion,and herbal penetration moxibustion)has significant clinical effect in the application of cervical spondylosis of wind cold blocking collateral type,which can effectively improve clinical symptoms and biochemical indicators,promote the rehabilitation of cervical function,and has high safety.
