Abstract: Objective: To observe the changes of upper extremity sensory function in patients with radicular cervical spondylosis and evaluate the effect of treatment , the method of the SET and Soft tissue manipulation was used. Methods: From August 2015 to December 2016, 72 patients with cervical spondylosis were divided into treatment and control group randomly uniform. The cases in the treatment group were treated with SET plus soft tissue manipulations and those in the control group were treated with traction alone,6 times a week for 4 weeks of continuous treatment. The somatosensory evoked potential(SEP) 、 current perception threshold(CPT) and the VAS pain score of affected limb were separate examined before and 4 weeks after the treatment in two groups and determine the effective rate of treatment.Results: After treatment, The latency of SEP was shortened mainly in N9 and N13 in the two groups, the post-treatment comparison of the two groups showed the latency of SEP of the treatment group was better than those of the control group, showing a significant statistical difference (P<0.05);the CPT levels were reduced in both groups,and compared with the control group,the CPT levels in the treatment group were reduced significantly (P<0.05);the VAS pain score of affected limb was reduced in both groups,and compared with the control group,theVAS in the treatment group was reduced significantly (P<0.01)．Conclusion: SET combined with soft tissue manipulation can effectively promote the repair of nerve sense function of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.
