Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of psychological guidance combined with progressive functional exercise on the neck function of patients with cervical vertebra degeneration.Methods A total of 120 patients with cervical vertebra degeneration admitted to Tancheng Street Community Health Service Center from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects,and were divided into 60 cases in the control group and 60 cases in the study group according to the lottery method.The control group was cared for by means of psychological guidance combined with functional exercises,and the study group was cared for by means of psychological guidance combined with progressive functional exercises.The degree of cervical spine pain,cervical spine function,cervical spine mobility,anxiety and depression,and patient satisfaction were assessed between the two groups.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the pain level(neuropathic pain questionnaire,NPQ),cervical spine dysfunction index(neck disability index,NDI),modified cervical vertigo symptom and function evaluation(evaluation scale for cervical vertigo,ESCV),self-rating depression scale(SDS)and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)scores,and cervical lateral flexion,forward flexion,swivel,and posterior extension mobility between two groups(P>0.05).The NPQ,NDI,SAS,and SDS scores in the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group after treatment(P<0.05).ESCV scores in study group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The cervical lateral flexion,forward flexion,swivel,and backward extension mobility in study group were significantly greater than those of the control group,and the total patient satisfaction in study group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Psychological guidance combined with progressive functional exercise is effective in patients with cervical spine degeneration,which can effectively reduce the degree of pain,improve the cervical spine function and mental state of the patients,and increase the total satisfaction of the patients with the treatment.
