Objective To use randomized controlled clinical research method to assess therapeutic effect of picking therapy on cervical spondylosis. Methods One hundred and fifty-eight cases were randomly divided into a picking therapy group (n=56), a routine acupuncture group (n=55) and a local anesthesia group (n=47). They were treated respectively with picking therapy, routine acupuncture and local anesthesia at Jing bailao (EX HN 15), Dazhui (GV 14), Jianjing (GB 21), etc. Brief McGill Pain Questionaire was used for score, which was combined with clinical symptoms and signs to analyze the therapeutic effect. Results The cured rate was 57.1% in the picking therapy group, better than 23.6% in the acupuncture group and 14.9% in the local anesthesia group (P<0.01), and adverse reaction was basically not found in the picking therapy group. Conclusion Picking therapy is a highly effective and safe therapy for cervical spondylosis.
