Tested by x2(x2=4.59, P<0.05),the former is apparently superior to the latter group with significant difference. The two groups of patients comparison between the former and latter grade of the main symptoms and sign treatment is that: In abdominal acupuncture group, the grade was 4.90±2.52 before treatment and 1.83±1.46 after treatment (t=6.67,P<0.01);In normal traction group, the grade was 4.85± 2.40 before treatment and 2.49±1.50 after treatment (t=5.27, P< 0.01);The grade was 1.83±1.46 after treatment in abdominal acupuncture group and 2.49±1.50 after treatment in normal traction group(t= 1.994, P<0.05).The stabilization rate and recurrence rate were 83.9% and 16.1% in treatment group and 60% and 40% in control group with significant difference between the two groups ( x 2=4.021, P<0.05). Considering the safety, abdominal acupuncture therapy is reliable and no dizziness and there will be only little pain and bleeding when pricking.Conclusions: The present research suggested that abdominal acupuncture is a new technique to cure cervical spondylosis of nerve root, which is effective, painless, convenient and practical.
