The spontaneous regression of herniated cervical discs is not a well-established phenomenon. However, we encountered a case of a spontaneous regression of a severe radiculopathic herniated cervical disc that was treated with acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and herb medicine. The symptoms were improved within 12 months of treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conducted at that time revealed marked regression of the herniated disc. This case provides an additional example of spontaneous regression of a herniated cervical disc documented by MRI following non-surgical treatment.
颈椎间盘突出症的自然消退并非一种已被充分证实的现象。然而,我们遇到了一例严重神经根型颈椎间盘突出症自然消退的病例,该病例接受了针灸、药针和草药治疗。症状在治疗12个月内得到改善。当时进行的磁共振成像(MRI)显示突出的椎间盘明显消退。该病例为非手术治疗后经MRI记录的颈椎间盘突出症自然消退提供了又一个实例。
