ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effects of conservative therapy and radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy,to analyze the reason and discuss the surgical indications.Methods Fifty-five patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy treated in Shijingshan Hospital from May 2013 to May 2016 were selected and retrospectively analyzed,including 30 patients received conservative treatment (conservative group),25 patients undergone radiofrequency ablation (operation group).Visual analogue score (VAS) was used to assess the degree of pain relief in the two groups before treatment and 1 week,1 month after treatment.The side effects in the two groups and the postoperative complications of the patients were observed.Results The VAS score of the operation group and the conservative group in 1 weeks after treatment were (3.2±0.5) points,(5.2±0.7)) points,1 months (2.8±0.3) points,(5.8±0.4) points,respectively,the degree of pain were lower than those collected before treatment (8.0±0.9) points,(7.6±0.8) points,separately,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),and the degree of pain relief in the operation group was more obvious than that in the conservative group,there was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01).Two groups of patients were treated with medication without any obvious discomfort.The surgery of the operation group was successful,and no complications such as nerve and spinal cord injury,vascular injury,local hematoma,puncture needle breakage and intervertebral space infection were found.Conclusion Radiofrequency ablation is more effective for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy in the short term than conservative treatment,and radiofrequency ablation treatment is a recommended choice for patients with no surgical contradiction.
