Objective： To observe the clinical effects of electroacupuncture（EA） plus tuina for cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Methods： One hundred and twenty cases with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were divided randomly by the digital table into the observation group and control group. The patients in an observation group were treated by EA plus tuina techniques. The patients in the control group were treated by simple tuina techniques. Results： The total effective rate was 91.7% in the observation group and 78.3% in the control group. The effective rates in the two groups were statistically different（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： EA plus tuina therapy is better than simple tuina therapy in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.
