Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of Gubenqiangji exercises on pain, cervical function, and sleep quality in patients with cervical spondylosis. Methods A total of 108 patients with cervical spondylosis who were admitted to Changzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2018 to June 2020 were selected and divided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table method, with 54 cases in each. The control group was given cervical traction, while the experimental group was given the exercise of Gubenqiangji exercises. After three months of intervention, the clinical efficacy, pain degree, cervical spine function, and sleep quality were compared between the two groups. Results After three months of intervention, 53 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group were completed. The effective rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). After three months of intervention, the visual analog score, and cervical spine dysfunction index score in the two groups were lower than those before the intervention, while those in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). After three months of intervention, the scores of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) in both groups were lower than those before intervention, while the total score of sleep quality, sleep onset time, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, hypnotic drugs, and PSQI in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Gubenqiangji exercises can help relieve the pain of patients with cervical spondylosis, promote the recovery of cervical vertebra function, and improve the sleep quality of patients.
