Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Spinal instability diseases have a high prevalence and great harm. The research on how to prevent and treat degenerative spinal instability diseases has become a hot spot in the international academic community, and it is also an important research content in the field of "population and health" in my country. Clinical studies have shown that the "Shi-style manipulations" have outstanding efficacy and high safety in the treatment of degenerative spinal instability diseases. The study intends to carry out a randomized, traction-controlled study in 5 tertiary hospital test centers, with patients with non-specific neck pain as the research object, using "Shi-style manipulations" and traction as intervention methods, and checking indicators and subjective effects through relevant instruments Indicators, quantitative verification of the mechanical parameters and biological effects of the "Shi-style manipulations", scientific evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the "Shi-style manipulations" in non-specific neck pain diseases.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Spinal diseases are listed as the second most serious diseases in the world's top ten Diseases released by WHO. With the rapid pace of life, the aging of the population and the increase in chronic strain, the incidence of degenerative spinal instability diseases remains high and medical expenses increase.

From 1999 to 2006, 534 patients with various types of degenerative spine instability diseases (except myelomyelitis) were treated by the project team, and the total effective rate of the "three steps and nine steps" in the treatment of clinical symptoms and signs of degenerative spine instability diseases was 91.76%. Through reviewing 60 cases of nerve root type of randomized controlled trials, 8 weeks after treatment, treatment group 30 cases (the whole neck three-step nine method), total effective rate 93.3%, control group total effective rate was 73.3% (cervical traction) (P \< 0.01), the treatment group in improving the neck shoulder pain, upper limb numbness, dizziness, tinnitus, brachial plexus pull test is better than that in control group (P \< 0.05), the clinical operation without adverse reaction.

Clinical studies have shown that the "Shi-style manipulations" have outstanding efficacy and high safety in the treatment of degenerative spinal instability diseases. The study intends to carry out a randomized, traction-controlled study in 5 tertiary hospital test centers, with patients with non-specific neck pain as the research object, using "Shi-style manipulations" and traction as intervention methods, and checking indicators and subjective effects through relevant instruments Indicators, quantitative verification of the mechanical parameters and biological effects of the "Shi-style manipulations", scientific evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the "Shi-style manipulations" in non-specific neck pain diseases.
