Objective To analyze the clinical value of combining systematic rehabilitation nursing with holistic comfort nursing in non-invasive cervical spine decompression therapy. Methods A total of 160 patients with cervical spondylosis and radiculopathy who underwent non-invasive cervical spine decompression therapy in our department from June 2023 to June 2025 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method. Results The observation group showed significantly greater reductions in VAS scores, NDI indices, and SAS scores compared to the control group. Additionally, the GCQ scores and overall treatment compliance rates were significantly better in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion Integrating rehabilitation nursing with comfort nursing in non-invasive cervical spine decompression therapy not only more effectively alleviates patients' physical symptoms and negative emotions but also significantly enhances their comfort and initiative during the treatment process.
