Clinical Observation Of Lower Cervical Resistive Exercise Combined With Massage For Cervical Spondylosis With Neck Type

Objective:To observe the reliability and validity of lower cervical resistive exercise combined with massage for cervical spondylosis with neck type.Explaining the beneficials of the new methods which providing a better strategy and manipulation in curing the cervical spondylosis.Methods:60 patients of cervical spondylosis with neck type from The First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine were divided into a treatment group and a control group by the randomized table,with 30 patients in the treatment group treated by the lower cervical resistive exercise combined with massage and 30 patients in the control group treated by conventional massage.Observe and record two groups before and after the treatment by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),Neck Disability Index(NDI)and Craniovertebral angle(CV angle).Then two-month follow-up was performed for all the patients.Results:1.The scores of VAS and NDI of patients in two groups had an obviously statistical significance after treatment(P<0.05).The treatment group had a more significant improvement(P<0.05).2.After treatment,the treatment group was improved better than the control group according to the CV angle(P<0.05).3.For the follow-up of two months,the control group had a high morbidity(P<0.05).Two patients in the control group aggravated to cervical spondylosis radiculopathy.Conclusion:1.Lower cervical resistive exercise combined with massage for the cervical spondylosis with neck type can significantly meliorate the symptom of pain and disability.It's performed better than the control group.2.Lower cervival resistive exercise combined with massage for the cervical spondylosis with neck type can correct the bad posture wihch leading to cervical spondylosis.It's achievement is more remarkable than the control group.3.Lower cervival resistive exercise combined with massage for the cervical spondylosis with neck type showed a lower recrudesce in one-month and two-month follow-up.The patients in the control group performed worse in VAS and NDI.
