Abstract

ObjectiveTo ascertain if it is effective to use extradural injections and manual repositioning of the spine to treat megalgia caused by cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR). MethodsPatients with megalgia caused by CSR were divided into a treatment group (n=46) treated by extradural injection and manual repositioning of the spine and a control group (n=46) treated by a conventional method. ResultsThe prevalence of cure was 58.69% and the total prevalence of effective cure in the treatment group was 97.83% and was 23.91% and 78.26%, respectively, in the control group: this difference between the two groups was significant (P< 0.05). ConclusionTreatment of megalgia caused by CSR by extradural injections and manual repositioning of the spine has a good curative effect with rapid analgesia and short therapeutic course.
