The therapeutic effects and the changesof clinical assessment scale for cervical spondylosis (CASCS) score were observed between two groups. Aftertreatment, the overall effective rates were 93% in treatment group and 84% in control group (P>0. 05) ;however the rate of marked improvement and the CASCS score were higher in treatment group than those incontrol group (P <0. 01).
