Abstract:
Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of Baduanjin combined with acupuncture in treating neck-type cervical spondylopathy(NTCS)patients.Methods Eighty patients were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group in a 1∶1 ratio.The intervention group was treated with a combination of Baduanjin and acupuncture.Patients underwent Baduanjin exercise daily and acupuncture treatment twice a week for a total of 8 consecutive weeks.The control group received routine acupuncture twice a week for a total of 8 consecutive weeks.After the end of the treatment course,the effective rates of the two groups,as well as the visual analogue scale(VAS),neck disability index(NDI),self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS),and general comfort questionnaire(GCQ)assessment before and after treatment were compared,then safety evaluations was assessed.Results After intervention,the total effective rates of the intervention group and the control group were 91.4%and 76.31%,respectively,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05);Compared within the group,the VAS,NDI,SAS,SDS scores of both groups were significantly lower than before treatment(all P<0.01),and the GCQ scores were higher than before treatment(both P<0.01);After intervention,inter-group comparison showed that the improvement of VAS,NDI,SAS,SDS,and GCQ scores in the intervention group was more significant than that in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of Baduanjin and acupuncture treatment can improve the clinical efficacy of NTCS patients and has good safety,which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
