Clinical Observation on Manipulation of Regulating Jingjin and Adjusting Cervical Joints in the Treatment of 30 Patients with Cervical Spondylosis
Objective To observe the influence of manipulation of regulating Jingjin-(soft tissue)and adjusting cervical joints on the fatigue severity of cervical muscles in cervical spondylosis patients.Methods Sixty patients with cervical spondylosis were randomized into treatment group and control group with 30 in each.The treatment group was treated with manipulation of regulating Jingjin and adjusting cervical joints
once every other day
three times a week
for 2 weeks.The control group was treated with traction
once everyday
five times a week
for 2 weeks.Before and after treatment
both groups were tested with TeleMyo 2400T Surface EMG to measure the fatigue severity of cervical muscles
including integrated EMG(IEMG)
and mean power frequency(MPF)and middle frequency(MF).Results After treatment
the IEMG
MPF
and MF of the right side cervical muscles of both groups and the left side cervical muscles of the treatment group were significantly improved(P< 0.05).The IEMG
MPF
and MF of the right side cervical muscles and the IEMG of the left side cervical muscles of the treatment group were more significantly improved than those of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Manipulation of regulating Jingjin and adjusting cervical joints can increase the recruitment amount of motor neurons and discharge frequency of motor unit of cervical muscles in cervical spondylosis
thus relieving the fatigue severity of cervical muscles.
