Methods
Eightythree children with congenital muscular torticollis in Henan Affiliated Hospital of Henan Massage Vocational College were randomly divided into two groups. The 41 patients in the control group were treated with massage therapy, and 42 patients in the observation group were treated with acupoint hot compress in addition to massage. The clinical efficacy and the diameter of the mass in neck were compared between the two groups.
Results
The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group[(95.2%,40/42) vs (63.4%,26/41),P<0.05]. The diameter of mass was lower in observation group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).
