Clinical Study Of Acupuncture Combined With Exercise Therapy In The Treatment Of Upper Crossed Syndrome

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with exercise therapy and simple exercise therapy for UCS;compare the effects of the two methods on patients' VAS,ROM and NDI,and clarify the advantages of different treatments for UCS;select a comprehensive comprehensive plan for clinical treatment of UCS Provide scientific evidence.MethodsAccording to the randomized and controlled principles,Sixty patients with UCS were divided into two groups,the treatment group(acupuncture combined with exercise therapy group)and the control group(sports therapy group),with 30 patients in each group.Acupuncture group acupoints: C2-T12 Jiaji,Renying,Futu,Tianding,Fengchi,Jianjing,Tianzong,Waiguan;Exercise therapy group: give stretch training,intensive training,thoracic stretching training.Both groups were treated continuously for 4 weeks and treated 3 times a week.VAS,ROM and NDI were evaluated before and after treatment,and intra-group and inter-group changes were compared to analyze the differences in efficacy.Statistical analysis was performed using spss19.0software.Results1.The general data of the two groups before treatment were analyzed,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05);and the differences of VAS,ROM and NDI scores between the two groups before treatment were not statistically significant(P>0.05).2.Comparison of VAS scores after treatment: The VAS scores in both groups were improved after treatment(P<0.01);and the improvement of the treatment group was better than that of the control group(P<0.01).3.Comparison of ROM scores after treatment: Both groups showed improved ROM scores after treatment(P<0.05);and the improvement of the treatment group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05).4.Comparison of NDI scale scores after treatment: The scores of NDI scale in both groups were improved after treatment(P<0.05);and the improvement of the treatment group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05).5.Comparison of the total effective rate of treatment in the two groups: The cure rate and total effective rate of the treatment group were statistically different from the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion1.Acupuncture combined with exercise therapy and simple exercise therapy can improve the clinical symptoms of UCS,and the effect of acupuncture combined with exercise therapy on UCS is more effective than simple exercise therapy;2.In terms of treatment,acupuncture has certain advantages in relieving neck and shoulder pain,spasm,eliminating inflammation,loosening stickyness,etc.Exercise therapy balances muscle strength and improves cervical and thoracic vertebrae,shoulder joints and shoulder straps.Functional activities,correcting posture disorders and other aspects have certain advantages.
