ObjectiveTo explore the effects of core stable training on cervical vertebrae pain, cervical function and balance ability in patients with neck type cervical spondylopathy (NTCS).MethodsFrom January to August 2018, 98 patients with NTCS were treated. According to the odd and even bed numbers, 49 patients were enrolled in the observation group and 49 were in the control group. The patients in the control group was given Kinesio tape treatment, and the observation group was given core stability training based on the treatment of the control group. Cervical vertebrae pain was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Clinical Assessment Scale for Cervical Spondylosis (CASCS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI); cervical vertebra activity were used to assess the cervical; the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to assess patients’ balance before intervention and at the 4th week of intervention. The incidence of complications during the intervention and the effective of treatment 4 weeks after intervention were recorded. The recurrence rate 6 months after the intervention was recorded.ResultsThere were no significant difference in CASCS, NDI, VAS, and BBS scores between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). At the 4th week of the intervention, the CASCS and BBS scores of the two groups were higher than those before the intervention, and the VAS and NDI scores were lower than those before the intervention (P<0.05); and the CASCS and BBS scores in observation group at the 4th week of the intervention were higher than that of control group, and VAS and NDI scores were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the activity of the cervical vertebrae before intervention in both of the two groups (P>0.05). At the 4th week of the intervention, the activity of the cervical vertebrae in all directions was bigger than that of before the intervention in both of the two groups (P<0.05), and that in observation group were bigger than that of the control group (P<0.05). The effective rate at the 4th week in the observation group (95.92%) was higher than that in the control group (81.83%)(P<0.05). The recurrence rate 6 months after intervention in the observation group (6.38%) was lower than that in the control group (22.50%) (P<0.05).ConclusionCore stability training can relieve cervical spondylosis in NTCS patients, and improve the cervical function and patients’ balance; it has high safety and stable efficacy.
