Abstract


Objective: To investigate the effect of Dahuoluo capsule combined with Acupotomy on improving upper limb electromyography in patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Methods: A total of 60 patients with cervi- cal spondylotic radiculopathy in our hospital from January 2019 to June 2020 were selected and divided into two groups according to different treatment methods: control group (n = 30 cases, treated with Acupotomy); the study group (n = 30 cases, treated with Dahuoluo capsule combined with Acupotomy), the changes of F-wave conduction mode of upper limb median nerve and ulnar nerve were compared before and after treatment. Results: There was no significant dif- ference in F-wave conduction velocity of median nerve and ulnar nerve between the study group and the control group before treatment (P> 0.05). After treatment, the F-wave conduction velocity of EMG of anterior median nerve and ulnar nerve in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Dahuoluo cap- sule combined with acupotomy can effectively improve the conduction velocity of median nerve and ulnar nerve in the compressed area, relieve or eliminate the compression state, which can be promoted.
