An Analysis of Acupuncture of Neck-clip-ridge Point with Massage on Cervical Vertigo
Objective To investigate the effects and value of acupuncture of neck-clip-ridge point combined with massage on the treatment of cervical vertigo.Method 106 cases of patients with cervical vertigo received in the Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2011 to December 2013 were randomly divided into two groups
53 cases in each group.The control group was given flunarizine hydrochloride capsules for treatment and the observation group were added acupuncture of neck-clip-ridge point and massage therapy on the basis of treatment in the control group.The effects of both groups were compared.Results The total efficiency of the observation group was higher than that of the control group and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).After their treatment
scores for neck pain visual analog scale(VAS)and the improvement of cervical motion in the observation group were better than those of the control group and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);the mean flow velocities in left vertebral artery
the right vertebral artery and basilar artery of patients in the observation group were respectively higher than the control group and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions Acupuncture of neck-clip-ridge point with massage has a reliable effect on the treatment of cervical vertigo
can improve patients′mean flow velocities in vertebral arteries and basilar artery and relieve their pain symptoms
