Abstract
Abstract Objective To observe the efficacy of traditional Qigong exercise combined with Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) manipulations in treating lower cervical disc herniation (CDH). Methods A total of 120 CDH patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 60 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were given the same Tuina manipulations. In addition, patients in the observation group practiced traditional Qigong exercise, and those in the control group did conventional neck exercise. After 8 weeks of treatment, the efficacy of the two groups was observed. Follow-up was conducted 3 months after the end of the treatment to record any recurrence. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group ( P <0.05). The improvement in symptom scores was more significant in the observation group than in the control group ( P <0.05). There was inter-group statistical significance in comparing the cross-sectional area and fatty infiltration of certain cervical muscles ( P <0.05). In addition, the recurrence rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P <0.05). Conclusion On the basis of the same Tuina manipulation treatment, the efficacy of traditional Qigong exercise in treating CDH is superior to that of conventional neck exercise, with more significant improvements in pain and quality of life and a lower recurrence rate.
