[Evaluation on clinical therapeutic effect of needle-knife therapy on cervical

spondylosis] Zhongguo Zhen Jiu. 2006 May;26(5):316-8. OBJECTIVE: To compare

therapeutic effects of needle-knife therapy and acupuncture on cervical

spondylosis. METHODS: Multi-central clinical randomized controlled trial was

adopted. The patients were divided into a needle-knife treatment group treated

with needle-knife therapy at the upper and lower interspinal ligaments of the

affected vertebral body and bilateral posterior joint capsules; and the

acupuncture control group were treated with acupuncture at Laozhen, Ashi points

and cervical Jiaji points, etc. The short-term and the long-term therapeutic

effects were observed at the end of the therapeutic course and 6 months after

the end of the therapeutic course. RESULTS: The short-term therapeutic effect

and the long-term therapeutic effect were 91.3% and 94.7% in the needle-knife

treatment group and 59.4% and 56.6% in the acupuncture control group,

respectively, with a very significant difference between the two groups (P <

0.01). CONCLUSION: The needle-knife treatment in the therapeutic effect on

cervical spondylosis is superior to acupuncture treatment.
