Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Wenjing Plaster with Union Jack type cervical exercise in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Methods Sixty cases of patients with cervical spondylotic radieulopath admitted to Outpatient Department of Orthopaedics, Sanya Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2016 to August 2017 were selected, and they were divided into treatment group and control group by random number table, with 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was given external application of Wenjing Plaster on the neck combined with Union Jack type cervical exercise, while the control group received traditional Chinese medicine hydropathic compress on the neck with the addition of visible light and Union Jack type cervical exercise. After treatment for 2 weeks, the neck pain visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI), total effective rate, and recurrence rate after 3 months in the two groups were observed. Results After treatment for 2 weeks, the neck pain VAS scores and NDI in the two groups were all significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.01), and the neck pain VAS scores and NDI of treatment group were lower than those of control group, the differences were highly statistically significant (P < 0.01). After treatment for 2 weeks, the total effective rate of the treatment group (86.67%) and control group (73.33%) had no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). Three months later, the recurrence rate of the treatment group (7.69%) was lower than that of the control group (36.36%), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Wenjing Plaster combined with Union Jack type cervical exercise in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy has obvious efficacy, which can improve cervical function in a certain extent, and the total effective rate is relatively satisfactory, the recurrence rate is relatively low.
