Objective To explore the rehabilitation efficacy of midnight-noon ebb-flow acupoint massage combined with cervical function rehabilitation training on patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on CSR patients (154 cases) admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to June 2025, who were selected as the research subjects. According to the intervention plan, they were divided into reference group (77 cases, received cervical functional rehabilitation training) and study group (77 cases, received midnight-noon ebb-flow acupoint massage combined with cervical functional rehabilitation training). The clinical efficacy and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups, as well as the TCM syndrome scores, pain visual analogue score (VAS) and cervical dysfunction index score (NDI) scores, cervical spine function activity, hemorheology indexes [plasma viscosity (PV), whole blood low shear viscosity (LSWBV), fibrinogen (FIB), whole blood high shear viscosity (HSWBV)] before and after intervention. Results Compared with the total effective rate of the reference group (83.12%), the study group (96.10%) was significantly higher (P<0.05); after intervention, the scores of all?TCM syndromes in the study group were lower than those in the reference group (P<0.05), after intervention, the VAS and NDI scores of the study group were lower than those in the reference group (P<0.05); the cervical spine activity of the study group was higher than that of the reference group after intervention (P<0.05); after intervention, the levels of LSWBV, PV, FIB and HSWBV in the study group were lower than those in the reference group (P<0.05); the recurrence rate of the study group at 3 months after intervention was 2.72% (2/74), which was lower than 14.06% (9/64) in the reference group (χ2=4.588, P<0.05). Conclusion Midnight-noon ebb-flow acupoint massage combined with cervical function rehabilitation training can improve the rehabilitation efficacy of CSR patients, improve clinical symptoms, cervical function, cervical mobility, regulate hemorheology, and reduce cervical pain and recurrence rate.

扩张型心肌病（DCM）以左心室或双心室扩大并伴心肌收缩功能下降为主要特征，左心室逆重构（LVRR）可反映治疗后心室结构和功能恢复，并与患者预后改善相关。近年来，中医药联合常规西医治疗DCM的研究逐渐增多，部分研究显示其可改善左心室射血分数、左心室内径或容积、BNP或NT-proBNP、6min步行距离及生活质量等LVRR相关指标。现有证据提示，中医药可能通过改善心肌细胞损伤与能量代谢、减轻心肌纤维化与细胞外基质重塑、调节神经内分泌激活与心室负荷等环节参与DCM患者左心室结构重塑改善和收缩功能恢复，从而促进LVRR。然而，现有研究对LVRR的判定标准尚未统一，相关临床证据仍需进一步规范和验证。鉴于此，本文旨在围绕DCM-LVRR的概念、评价指标、中医药临床证据及可能机制进行叙述性综述，以期为DCM的中西医结合治疗及后续临床研究设计提供参考。

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is mainly characterized by left ventricular or biventricular dilatation accompanied by impaired myocardial systolic function. Left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) reflects the recovery of ventricular structure and function after treatment and is associated with improved prognosis. In recent years, studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with conventional Western medical therapy for DCM have gradually increased. Some studies have shown that such combined treatment may improve LVRR-related indicators, including left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular diameter or volume, BNP or NT-proBNP, 6-minute walking distance, and quality of life. Current evidence suggests that TCM may contribute to left ventricular structural remodeling and systolic functional recovery in patients with DCM by alleviating myocardial cell injury, improving energy metabolism, attenuating myocardial fibrosis and extracellular matrix remodeling, and modulating neuroendocrine activation and ventricular load, thereby promoting LVRR. However, the criteria for defining LVRR remain inconsistent across existing studies, and the relevant clinical evidence requires further standardization and validation. Therefore, this narrative review aims to summarize the concept, evaluation indicators, clinical evidence of TCM, and potential mechanisms related to DCM-LVRR, with the aim of providing a reference for integrated Chinese and Western medical treatment of DCM and the design of future clinical studies.
