Abstract: Objective: To observe the efficacy of Shi’s rotation manipulation treatment for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Methods: 120 patients were randomly divided into the observation group(n=60) and control group(n=60). The observation group was treated with Shi’s rotation manipulation treatment twice per week for 2 weeks. The control group was treated with ordinary tendon combined with traction manipulation treatment. All patients were assessed with VAS scale and NPQ scale before and after treatment as well as 3 months later to observe and compare the clinical efficacy between two groups. Results: At the end of the first week, the VAS score(41.21±10.41) and NPQ score(27.21±7.34) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(59.57±13.49,33.65±11.37)(P<0.05). After the second course of treatment, the VAS(29.28±13.87) and NPQ(16.14±5.26) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(40.37±15.79, 26.37±9.76)(P<0.01). At the end of the second week, the total effective rate was 94.74%in the observation group and 70.91% in the control group(P<0.05). After 3 months follow-up, there was no significant difference in VAS between the observation group(20.02±9.52) and the control group(24.12±10.61)(t=2.812,P>0.05), NPQ score in the observation group(12.74±6.33) was significantly lower than the control group(19.88±7.26), the difference was statistically significant(t=2.366,P<0.05). After 3 months follow-up, the recurrence rate of the observation group was 5.56%, the final effective rate was 89.47%, the recurrence rate of the control group was 23.08%, the final effective rate was 54.55%, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusion: The Shi’s rotation manipulation treatment on cervical spondylotic radiculopathy is effective, with low recurrence rate, simple, standardized and safe operation. It is worthy of clinical application.
