Abstract:Objective:To observe the clinical effect of the spine-balancing therapy on abnormal cervical curvature and its concomitant symptoms in adolescents. Methods:A total of 120 adolescents with abnormal cervical curvature were selected and randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group according to the hospitalization numbers,60 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with optimal value traction, Chinese herbal fumigation and spine- balancing therapy. The control group was treated with optimal value traction, Chinese herbal fumigation and traditional tuina manipulation. the late treatment was combined with neck function exercise. the late treatment was combined with neck function exercise. The clinical effect in the two groups was evaluated;the scores of Northwick Park Questionnaire(NPQ) and bowstring values were observed before and after treatment and during the one-month follow-up,and the improvement of concomitant symptoms was recorded. Results:The curative effect in the treatment group was better than that in the control group, the difference being significant(P<0.05). After treatment, NPQ scores in both groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.01),and the bowstring values were increased(P<0.05). During the one-month follow- up,the NPQ score in the treatment group was decreased when compared with that after treatment(P<0.01),and there was no significant difference in the comparison of bowstring value(P>0.05);the NPQ score in the control group was increased when compared with that after treatment(P<0.01), and the bowstring value was decreased(P<0.05). The NPQ score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group after treatment and after one- month follow- up(P< 0.05), and the bowstring value was larger than that in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment, the concomitant symptoms in both groups were improved when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05), and the improvement of headache and dizziness in the treatment group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the comparison of the improvement of nausea and vomiting, memory decline, tinnitus and blurred vision between the two groups(P > 0.05). After one-month follow-up , the dizziness , nausea and vomiting symptoms in the treatment group were improved when compared with those in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion: Spine- balancing therapy is better than traditional tuina manipulation in treating abnormal cervical curvature and its concomitant symptoms in adolescents,and it is not easy to relapse.
