To research the clinical effect of point injection and motor therapy for treatment of degenerative neck osteoarthritis (NOA) by means of randomized controlled trial so as to seek a new effective therapy. Subjects and Methods: 60 patients with NOA were randomly divided into trial group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). The former group was treated with point injection plus motor therapy

and the latter was treated with motor therapy plus ultrashortwave therapy(continuous wave

micro heat

20 min every time

twice a day and 4 weeks all together). Then

the clinical symptoms and functional activity before and after treatment were assessed and dealt with Student's t Test.Results: After treatment

the pain of the neck in the two groups was relieved significantly([WT5BX]P<0.001)

but the joint functional improvement of the former group was superior to that of the later group markedly([WT5BX]P<0.01).Except blood platelet(plt)

indexes of the hemorheology in trial group were improved markedly(P<0.05). Conclusion: Point injection and motor therapy can not only relieve the pain caused by NOA

but also improve the functional activity and the hemorheology significantly.
