The incidence of cervical spondylosis on young people is increasing every year. Suffering
from this disease will affect the normal life and learning of young people. Episode younger
and incidence higher of this disease could increase health care spending of the government
in the economy. Cervical spondylosis of cervical type is the main type of cervical
spondylosis of young people. Patients of cervical spondylosis of cervical type always
manifest the head, neck and shoulder pain accompanied by corresponding pressure point, the
X-ray display of Upper cervical curvature change and instability of intervertebral joint
performance ,and the dynamic lateral X-ray shows vertebral instability or trapezoidal
change. The conservative treatment is the primary and preferred treatment of the disease.
This study is designed as a random, control, single blind study. It will recruit 140 cases
of cervical spondylosis of cervical type. Both the treatment group and the control group
will be randomly assigned 70 cases. Patients in the treatment group will be treated by
Massage of chiropractic and adjusting cervical curvature and practice Sishi Daoyin for 4
weeks，and the control group by conventional massage and cervical traction. The total study
includes 2 views that are baseline and post-4week intervention. At all of the 2 views, all
participants will be examined range of motion of cervical vertebra, cervical curvature, and
Surface Electromyography of neck muscles, and will be estimated scores of The Neck
Disability Index(NDI), the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ),Short-form McGill
Pain Questionnaire(SF-MPQ) and Evaluation of the therapeutic effect. This study aims to
investigate the efficacy of Massage of chiropractic and adjusting cervical curvature and
Sishi Daoyin practice, and discover the correlation between these scales and these objective
indicators to discover the indicators of early warning signs of cervical spondylosis of
cervical type of young people.
