| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the effect of tuina(massage) manipulations on soft tissue on trapezius tension of cervical spondylosis radiculopathy and explore the relationship between massage and clinical efficacy. [Methods] According to a randomized and controlled clinical trial method, 72 diagnosed cases were randomly allocated into the treatment group and control group by the 1:1 ratio. The cases in the treatment group were treated with soft tissue manipulations and those in the control group with cervical traction. Then the effects of two therapies on resting trapezius tension and general efficacy were compared with medical statistics analysis. [Results] The improvement of resting trapezius tension RAUC in the treatment group was superior to the control group (p<0.01); and there was a positive linear correlation between the general efficacy and resting trapezius tension RAUC (p<0.01, r2=0.723). [Conclusion] Soft tissue tuina manipulations can effectively improve the resting trapezius tension of cervical spondylosis radiculopathy, and the alterations of resting trapezius tension are positively correlated to the general efficacy. |
