Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cervical spondylotic myeloradiculopathy is a severe disease that needs to be operated when the adjacent nerve roots and spinal cord are being progressively oppressed in spite of the sufficient conservative treatments. The authors treated 2 patients inappropriate for operation because of the old age, and not in the progressive oppression of the nerve root and spinal cord. They were treated conservatively by acupuncture treatment on the trigger-points of the Iliopsoas muscle and Trapezius muscle with following manual exercises on the muscles. For objective evaluation on them, Nurick classificaton, Kadoya’s classification and JOA score, VAS(visual analog score) were used. After being treated by our methods, Nurick grade of the two cases was not remarkably improved, but JOA score, Kadoya grade, VAS of the numbness and pain of the extremities were improved in both cases.
