To observe the clinical efficacy of Long's bone setting technique combined with Fu's Subcutaneous Needling in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Sixty patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy who visited the hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group received Fu's Subcutaneous Needling; On the basis of the control group, the observation group was treated with Long's bone setting technique. Observe the changes in pain and cervical spine function scores before and after treatment in two groups to evaluate clinical efficacy. After treatment, both groups showed improvement in pain and cervical spine function compared to before treatment; Compared between groups, although the observation group did not have an advantage in pain relief, it was superior to the control group in terms of improving cervical spine function and overall clinical efficacy. The combination of Long's bone setting technique and Fu's Subcutaneous Needling has significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and is worthy of promotion and use.
