Treatment of Cervical Intervertebral Disc Herniation by Radio Frequency Target Combined with Collagenase

Objective To observe the treatment effect of radio frequency target combined with collagenase in treatment of cervical intervertebral disc herniation. Methods From March 2011 to September 2011, 40 patients with cervical intervertebral disc herniation were divided into 2 groups: Group A and Group B. Patients in Group A were given radio frequency target radiofrequency for treatment of the cervical intervertebral disc herniation and patients in Group B of 20 were given radio frequency target combined with collagenase for treatment of cervical intervertebral disc herniation. Results 40 patients were followed up for 6 months. At the 1st week and 6 months after surgery,the VAS score difference between before and after surgery in patients were compared between two groups by t test. There was no statistically significant difference at the 1st week after surgery between two groups(P 0.05), while 6 months after surgery, there was statistically significant difference between two groups(P 0.05).Conclusion Radio frequency target combined with collagenase for treatment of cervical intervertebral disc herniation can alleviate the pain symptoms of patients,and the short-term and long-term curative effect is very good.The long-term curative effect has statistically significant difference with pure target radiofrequency ablation treatment.Radio frequency target combined with collagenase for treatment of cervical intervertebral disc herniation has good safety, few side effects, low risks and good short-term and long-term curative effect, so it deserves to be generalized.
