Abstract

A controlled interventional study was conducted on 60 patients to evaluate the effects on pain relief, muscle stiffness reduction, and improvement of radicular symptoms in patients with cervical radiculopathy due to cervical spondylosis treated with acupoint catgut embedding combined with Methylcobalamin. Patients were divided into two groups. All patients received Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg/day and Glucosamine Sulphate (Viatril-S) 1500 mg/day for 30 days. The intervention group additionally underwent acupoint catgut embedding on day 1 and day 15 of the treatment course. After 30 days, the mean VAS score in the intervention group decreased from 4.40 ± 1.03 to 0.77 ± 1.30 with statistically significant differences both before - after treatment and between the two groups (p < 0.05); muscle stiffness decreased by 70.0% in the intervention group compared with 20.0% in the control group (p < 0.05); radicular symptoms improved significantly in both groups (p < 0.05), although the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). No adverse effect was recorded. Conclusion: Acupoint catgut embedding combined with Methylcobalamin is effective in relieving pain, reducing muscle stiffness and improving radicular symptoms in patients with cervical radiculopathy due to cervical spondylosis and was superior to Methylcobalamin mono treatment.
