To put forward an examination method of special signs to rapidly identify and diagnose cervical spondylotic radiculopathy and extraspinal diseases by cervical roots trigger point pressing for neck shoulder and limb pain, and to explore its clinical positive rate and the significance of examination method in clinical practice.Methods:The clinical physical examination data of 200 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy who were received and treated in Pain Treatment Center of Navy General Hospital from June 2013 to May 2016 were retrospectively studied.The positive rates of trigger point pressure test method, intervertebral foramen extrusion test, and brachial plexus pull test method before and after treatment were compared, and they were also compared with the results of electromyography.Results:Among the three special signs examination methods before treatment, the positive rate of cervical roots trigger point pressing method was highest of 96.5%, and brachial plexus pull test method of 33.98%.The trigger point pressure test method had a relatively higher agreement rate with the results of electromyography.Conclusion:Cervical roots trigger point pressing method has a high positive rate in clinical application with easy and quick operation, and can better reflect the conditions of patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.This method can quickly screen patients in outpatient work, and guide the follow-up check, as well as plays a key role in the treatment, which is worthy of promotion.
