Abstract：Objective：To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture and moxibustion combined with LONG's manipulation for cervical spondylosis of nerve root cervical type. Methods： A total of 200 cases of patients with cervical spondylosis of nerve root cervical type were selected as the study objects， and divided into the control group and the observation group according to random number table method，with 100 cases in each group. The control group was treated with acupuncture and moxibustion，and the observation group was additionally treated with LONG's manipulation based on the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for eight weeks. The clinical effects in the two groups were compared. Before and after treatment， the changes in Clinical Assessment Scale for Cervical Spondylosis(CASCS)， Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)， results of brachial plexus traction test and Neck Disability Index(NDI) in the two groups were observed. Results： The total effective rate of clinical effect was 93.00% in the observation group，higher than that of 80.00% in the control group，the difference being significant(P＜0.05). After eight- week treatment，the scores of subjective symptoms，clinical signs，and work and social adaptability in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment，and the above three scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05). The VAS scores after treatment for different time periods were decreased when compared with those before treatment， differences being significant(P＜0.05)； after treatment for two， four and eight weeks， the VAS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05). After eight- week treatment，the scores of brachial plexus traction test in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment，and NDI scores were decreased；the score of brachial plexus traction test in the observation group was higher than that in the control group，and NDI score was lower，differences being significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion：Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with LONG's manipulation has a good curative effect in treating cervical spondylosis of nerve root cervical type， which can relieve pain and cervical dysfunction，and promote the recovery of cervical spine function.
