Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To observe and compare the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture (EA) plus cupping and the electrical pulse therapy on different types of cervical spondylopathy. METHODS: 182 cases of cervical spondylopathy confirmed by X-ray or CT examination were divided into 4 types, and treated with EA plus cupping in Group A of 90 cases and with moderate or low electrical pulses in Group B of 92 cases. The therapeutic effects were compared after 3 courses of treatments. RESULTS: For the vertebroarterial type and the nerve root type of cervical spondylopathy, the effect in Group A was better than that in Group B, while for the sympathetic type of cervical spondylopathy, the effect in Group B was superior to that in Group A. CONCLUSION: Appropriate therapies should be adopted for different types of cervical spondylopathy.
