Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of radiofrequency acupuncture (RFA) treatment on cervical type cervical spondylosis (CTCS), and to investigate the needling response depth of the neck acupoint using RFA and the needling response in tissues. Methods: A total of 174 patients with CTCS were randomly divided into two groups: an RFA group (n = 84) and a traditional acupuncture (TA) group (n = 90). The needling depth and the needling response impedance value were simultaneously recorded after treatment for both groups. Following one treatment course (one treatment per day for 12 days), the effect of treatment, the needling depth, and the needling response tissue category were evaluated and statistically analyzed. Results: In both groups, symptoms were significantly better than before treatment. The cure rates for the RFA group and the TA group were 81.0% and 64.4%, respectively and this difference in treatment effect between the two groups was statistically significant.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and promotion of basic and clinical research in acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, and related fields. The journal was established in order to make acupuncture and electro-therapeutics a universally acceptable branch of medicine through multidisciplinary research based on scientific disciplines. The final goal is to provide a better understanding of both the beneficial and adverse effects of these treatments in order to supplement or improve existing methods of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in both Western and Oriental medicine.
