Objective To observe the clinical effects of cervical spondylosis treated with electroacupuncture （EA）, cupping and TDP irradiation. Methods Ninety cases of mixed cervical spondylosis were randomized into 3 groups. Of which, in the treatment of observation group （30 cases）, the acupoints included Fengchi （风池 GB 20）, Jianjing （肩井GB 21）, Tianzong （天宗SI 11）, etc. EA, cupping and TDP irradiation were provided in combination. Two control groups were divided. In control group 1 （30 cases）, cervical traction was adopted in treatment. In control group 2 （30 cases）, stimulation with medium frequency was provided. In all of 3 groups, 5 treatments were given each week. 10 treatments made one course. The therapeutic effects of 3 groups were compared one course of treatment later. Resuits The total effective rate was 93.3% in observation group, 70.0% in control group 1 and 66.7% in control group 2. Significant differences were presented statistically in comparison between observation group and 2 control groups （both P〈0.05）. Conclusion The treatment with EA, cupping and TDP irradiation achieves quite satisfactory therapeutic effect on cervical spondylosis in clinical application.
