Target disease:

mixed cervical spondylosis

Target disease code:

Study type:

Interventional study

Study design:

randomized controlled trial(parallel group design)

Study phase:

Pilot clinical trial

Objectives of Study:

Implement a randomized controlled clinical study to compare the efficacy difference of Qihuang needle therapy and ordinary acupuncture therapy for mixed cervical spondylosis (mainly cervical type cervical spondylopathy and mixed cervical spondylotic radiculopathy). The main indicators are Visual Analog Scale/Score (VAS) Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Tanaka Yasuhisa Cervical Disease Symptom Scale. The secondary indicators are the average temperature value (∆ t) measured by Infrared Thermal Imaging (ITI) and the Root Mean Square (RMS) measured by Surface Electromyography (sEMG). And using SPSS software to analyze the correlation between ∆ t and RMS in the experimentAnd analyze the correlation between the average body surface temperature (∆t) of infrared thermal imaging (ITI) in the experiment and the root mean square (RMS) value measured by surface electromyography (sEMG) in order to provide certain evidence support for infrared thermal imaging technology as a clinical efficacy indicator for evaluating the treatment of mixed cervical spondylosis with Qihuang needle and further enrich the theoretical basis of Qihuang needle therapy for mixed cervical spondylosis in clinical practice.

Randomization Procedure (please state who generates the random number sequence and by what method):

This study used a simple randomization method and the project leader divided 70 patients equally into two groups according to a 1:1 control principle. Use SPSS27.0 statistical software to generate random numbers create random allocation cards and put them into opaque envelopes with numbers. The number on the envelope must be the same as the number on the card. According to the order of inclusion in the study compare the envelope numbers and open them strictly follow the card numbers for grouping and treatment.

The way of sharing IPD”(include metadata and protocol, If use web-based public database, please provide the url):

The 2024 uploaded the raw data to the International Tradition(http://http://itmctr.ccebtcm.org.cn/)al Medicine Clinical Registry on Dec. 6

Data collection and Management (A standard data collection and management system include a CRF and an electronic data capture:

The data collection for this study was carried out by the project leader using a paper version of the Case Record Form (CRF) who asked each enrolled research subject to fill out the form one by one collected and saved the paper version of the report results and compiled them into a book. This study has not yet implemented an electronic collection management system.
