Brief summary
The incidence of cervical spondylosis on young people is increasing every year. Suffering from this disease will affect the normal life and learning of young people. Episode younger and incidence higher of this disease could increase health care spending of the government in the economy. Cervical spondylosis of cervical type is the main type of cervical spondylosis of young people. Patients of cervical spondylosis of cervical type always manifest the head, neck and shoulder pain accompanied by corresponding pressure point, the X-ray display of Upper cervical curvature change and instability of intervertebral joint performance ,and the dynamic lateral X-ray shows vertebral instability or trapezoidal change. The conservative treatment is the primary and preferred treatment of the disease. This study is designed as a random, control, single blind study. It will recruit 140 cases of cervical spondylosis of cervical type. Both the treatment group and the control group will be randomly assigned 70 cases. Patients in the treatment group will be treated by Massage of chiropractic and adjusting cervical curvature and practice Sishi Daoyin for 4 weeks，and the control group by conventional massage and cervical traction. The total study includes 2 views that are baseline and post-4week intervention. At all of the 2 views, all participants will be examined range of motion of cervical vertebra, cervical curvature, and Surface Electromyography of neck muscles, and will be estimated scores of The Neck Disability Index(NDI), the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ),Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire(SF-MPQ) and Evaluation of the therapeutic effect. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of Massage of chiropractic and adjusting cervical curvature and Sishi Daoyin practice, and discover the correlation between these scales and these objective indicators to discover the indicators of early warning signs of cervical spondylosis of cervical type of young people.
Detailed description
Quality control: The study site and all researchers must comply with the required qualifications. All researchers must be trained before the study. The study will take a number of measures to ensure the recruitment of the required sample size, and compliance of intervention providers and participants.

| value of cervical curvature | baseline and post- 4week intervention | We will examine the value of cervical curvature of participants at baseline and post- 4week intervention. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| range of motion of cervical vertebra | baseline and post- 4week intervention | We will examine the range of motion of cervical vertebra, including cervical flexion, extension, flexion to the left, flexion to the right, rotation to the left and rotation to the right. |
| value of Surface Electromyography of neck muscles | baseline and post- 4week intervention | We will examine the value of Surface Electromyography of sternocleidomastoid muscle and upper trapezius muscle when they are cervical flexion, extension, flexion to the left and flexion to the right. |
| scores of the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) | baseline and post- 4week intervention | We will estimate the scores of NPQ of participants. |
