Sixty Cases of Cervical Spondylosis Treated with Qigong

It is reported in this paper that 115 patients with cervical spondylosis (CS) were divided of their accord into two groups for treatment: group A (60 cases) treated with 4i80n8 and group B (55 cases) treated with mechanical traction with therapeutic results compared. Short-term curative effect achieved in three months showed the superiority of qigong treatment to mechanical traction, the effective rate of group A being 86.7% and that of group B 78.2% (p>0.05) [ed. p<0.05?]. Half a gear later, long-term follow-up results showed that qigong treatment was far better than mechanical traction, for the effective rate of group A increased to 95% while that of group B dropped to 43% (p<O.OO1). Pathogenesis of cervical spondylosis is discussed in the paper with the conclusion that qigong is a new convalescent therapy of cervical spondylosis may help solve the difficult problem of high recurrence rate of non-operative treatment of cervical spondylosis and increase its clinical cure rare.
