Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of thermosensitive moxibustion in treating headache and dizziness in patients with sympathetic type of cervical spondylosis(SCS).Methods A total of 80 patients with SCS treated in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Chinese Medicine from June 2023 to June 2024 were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 40 patients in each group.The patients in control group were treated with regular moxibustion,while the patients in observation group were treated with thermosensitive moxibustion.The clinical efficacy,pain,quality of life,cervical spine function,cervical sympathetic symptoms,and adverse reactions between two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(x2=4.501,P=0.034).After treatment,visual analogue scale(VAS),Northwick Park neck pain questionnaire(NPQ)and cervical sympathetic nerve symptom scores of patients in two groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and clinical assessment scale for cervical spondylosis(CASCS)scores were significantly higher than before treatment(P＜0.05).VAS,NPQ and cervical sympathetic nerve symptom scores of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group,and CASCS score was significantly higher than that of control group(P＜0.05).No adverse reactions such as fainting and scalding occurred in both groups during treatment.Conclusion Thermosensitive moxibustion for SCS can reduce cervical sympathetic nerve symptoms and pain,improve cervical spine function,and improve patients'quality of life,and is relatively safe.
