Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this Clinical randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of cupping combined with bloodletting in the treatment of cervical spondylosis of qi stagnation and blood stasis type. The main question it aims to answer is: How to remove stasis and prolong the time of promoting blood circulation. Participants will adopt the combination of cupping and bloodletting therapy.Researchers will compare massage treatment to see if the combination of cupping and bloodletting puncture is more effective in treating cervical spondylosis of qi stagnation and blood stasis type


Clinical Trial Description

In recent years, the incidence rate of cervical spondylosis has continued to rise. Among them, cervical spondylosis of qi stagnation and blood stasis type, mainly characterized by neck and shoulder pain, is mainly treated by activating blood to remove blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals due to blood stasis and qi stagnation and blocked muscles and collaterals. Massage therapy is the most commonly used in clinical practice, but its maintenance time is short and clinical symptoms recur. How to remove stasis and prolong the time of blood circulation is the key to treatment. Walking cupping has the function of unblocking meridians and regulating qi and blood. Compared to massage, kneading, and pressing to stimulate acupoints, walking cupping also increases the scope of stimulation. If it is not clear, it will cause pain, while if it is clear, it will not cause pain. By pricking the meridians and releasing blood, it can activate the meridians, dispel blood stasis, and relieve pain. After cupping, pricking and bleeding can increase the amount of bleeding. The combination of the two can further alleviate symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain and stiffness in patients, and improve the therapeutic effect. Based on this, this project randomly divided 62 patients with cervical spondylosis of qi stagnation and blood stasis type into a control group and an experimental group. The control group received massage treatment, while the experimental group received cupping combined with bloodletting therapy. Using the Northwick Park Neck Pain Scale score as the primary outcome measure; Cervical mobility measurement, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, and adverse reactions are secondary outcome indicators. Objectively evaluate the efficacy of cupping combined with bloodletting puncture in the treatment of cervical spondylosis patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis, promote suitable techniques with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics for treating cervical spondylosis, and help cervical spondylosis patients recover their daily life and work abilities as soon as possible. ;
