Abstract：Objective:To observe efficacy of Chinese medicinal fumigation and washing combined with functional exercise on cervical spondylosis.Methods:Using a random number table method,62 patients with cervical spondylosis were divided into control group and observation group,31 patients in each group.The control group received intermediate frequency electrotherapy and functional exercise in a normal environment;the observation group received intermediate frequency electrotherapy,Chinese medicinal fumigation and washing treatment,and functional training during fumigation and washing treatment.Before treatment,4 weeks and 3 months after treatment during the follow-up,patients in both groups were evaluated by visual analogue score(VAS),neck disability index(NDI)scale,and joint mobility in all directions of the cervical spine.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in VAS score,NDI score and joint mobility in all directions of the cervical spine between two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).In the follow-up 4 weeks and 3 months after treatment,VAS score,NDI score and joint mobility of the cervical spine in all directions of the two groups were significantly improved compared with before treatment(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Chinese medicinal fumigation and washing combined with functional exercise in the treatment of cervical spondylosis can effectively relieve pain and improve the range of motion of cervical joints.
