针刺夹脊穴配合颈深屈肌训练治疗慢性非特异性颈痛

目的探讨针刺夹脊穴配合颈深屈肌训练治疗慢性非特异性颈痛的疗效。方法将60例诊断为慢性非特异性颈痛患者随机分成试验组和对照组,各30例。试验组干预措施为针刺夹脊穴配合颈深屈肌训练;对照组为单纯针刺夹脊穴治疗。对2组患者治疗前后的病情用视觉模拟评分量表(visual analogue scale,VAS)和颈椎功能障碍指数评分量表(neck disability index,NDI)进行评定,并将2组结果进行统计学分析。结果试验组与对照组在治疗前的VAS与NDI评分差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);2组治疗后组内与组间VAS与NDI评分差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论针刺夹脊穴配合颈深屈肌训练可减轻患者颈痛强度及改善颈椎功能,对慢性非特异性颈痛具有良好的治疗效果。

Treatment of Chronic Non-specific Neck Pain by Acupuncture at Jiaji Points Combined with Cervical Deep Flexor Training

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture at Jiaji points combined with cervical deep flexor training on chronic non-specific neck pain. Methods Sixty patients with chronic non-specific neck pain were randomly divided into the experimental group of 30 cases and the control group of 30 cases. The intervention of the experimental group was treated with acupuncture at Jiaji points combined with cervical deep flexor muscle training, the control group was treated with acupuncture at Jiaji points. The condition of the two groups before and after treatment was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Neck Disability Index(NDI), and the results of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in VAS and NDI scores between the experimental group and the control group before treatment(P > 0.05). There were significant differences in VAS and NDI scores between the two groups after treatment(P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture at Jiaji points combined with cervical deep flexor training and simple acupuncture at Jiaji points are effective for chronic non-specific neck pain, which can alleviate the neck pain intensity and improve cervical function. Acupuncture at Jiaji points and neck flexion in the training group is superior to the acupuncture Jiaji group.
