Quantitatively assessing the effect of cervical sagittal alignment on dynamic intervertebral kinematics by video-fluoroscopy technique.

Background: Cervical sagittal alignment is crucial for distributing the head load to lower cervical segments and maintaining normal cervical spine function, but its biomechanical effect on the cervical spine was not fully elucidated.

Objective: To investigate the effect of cervical sagittal alignment on dynamic intervertebral kinematics.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Cost and Effectiveness of Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Discectomy versus Microscope-Assisted Tubular Discectomy for L5-S1 Lumbar Disc Herniation.

Objective: To assess the cost and effectiveness of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) and microscope-assisted tubular discectomy (MATD) for patients with L5/S1 lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

Methods: The medical and financial records of patients diagnosed with L5/S1 LDH and who underwent either PEID or MATD from April 2021 to April 2022 were retrospectively collected. Demographic and baseline information, perioperative observational index, clinical outcomes, and inpatient costs were analyzed.

[Herbal acupoint sticking combined with electroacupuncture therapy in the treatment of Bell's palsy: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with herbal acupoint sticking in the treatment of Bell's palsy and provide optimizations for the clinic.

Methods: One hundred and two cases of Bell's palsy were randomized into an EA combined with herbal acupoint sticking group (group A, 50 cases) and an EA group (group B, 52 cases), EA at Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yangbai (GB 14), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), Quanliao (SI 18),Xiaguan (ST 7), Yingxiang (LI 20), etc. were applied in both groups and "facial paralys No.

[Acupuncture and moxibustion for peripheral facial palsy at different stages: multi-central large-sample randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To explore the best intervention time of acupuncture and moxibustion for peripheral facial palsy (Bell's palsy) and the clinical advantage program of selective treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion.

Methods: Multi-central large-sample randomized controlled trial was carried out. Nine hundreds cases of Bell's palsy were randomized into 5 treatment groups, named selective filiform needle group (group A), selective acupuncture + moxibustion group (group B), selective acupuncture + electroacupuncture (group C), selective acupuncture + line-up needling on muscle region of meridian group (group D) and non-selective filiform needle group (group E).

[Comparison of therapeutic effects of peripheral facial paralysis in acute stage by different interventions].

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effects of peripheral facial paralysis in acute stage by different interventions and explore the better treatments of peripheral facial paralysis.

Methods: One hundred and thirty one cases of Bell's facial paralysis were randomly divided into three groups. In acupuncture group (44 cases), Dicang (ST 4), Jiache (ST 6), Hegu (LI 4), Yangbai (GB 14) and Taiyang (EX-HN 5), etc.

[Study on acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of spinal cord injury at the rehabilitation stage].

Objective: To explore the mechanism and methods of acupuncture for the patient of spinal cord injury at the stage of rehabilitation.

Methods: Expound the mechanism of acupuncture for treatment of spinal cord injury and put forward some personal opinions about acupuncture treatment methods according to clinical practice of many years.

Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment can improve the motor function at the stage of rehabilitation in the patient of spinal cord injury.
