Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided akupotomye technique in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. Methods A total of 200 patients with cervical spondylosis admitted to Affiliated People’s Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2017 to June 2020 were selected. According to random number table method, they were divided into treatment group and control group, with 100 cases in each group. Ultrasound-guided akupotomye was used in the treatment group and traditional akupotomye was used in the control group. The treatment course of both groups was two weeks. The changes of visual analogue score (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scale score before and two weeks after treatment were observed. The changes of cervical curvature and surface electromyography (sEMG) of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid before and three months after treatment were observed in the two groups. Results Before treatment, there were no significant differences in VAS, JOA score, cervical curvature, trapezius and sternocleidomastoid sEMG between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). After two weeks of treatment, the VAS of the two groups was lower than that before treatment, and the JOA score of the two groups was higher than that before treatment, and the VAS of the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, and the JOA score of the treatment group was higher than that in the control group, with statistical significance (all P ＜ 0.05). Three months after the treatment, the cervical curvature and the sEMG of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid in both groups were higher than those before treatment, and the treatment group were higher than the control group, with statistical significance (all P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided akupotomye technique can significantly improve the neck function of patients with cervical spondylosis, reduce neck pain, improve the anti-fatigue ability of their muscles, and restore the physiological curvature of cervical spondylosis, and its curative effect is better than that of traditional akupotomye therapy.
