Clinical Research On Treatment Of Acupuncture In Treating Cervical Artery Type Of Cervical Spondyiosis

Objective:To observe the clinic effects of acupuncture on cervical spondylotic vertebral arteriopathy(CSA),provide effective therapeutic methods for acupuncture to treat CSA and a scientific theroy by comparing the indexes of vertebral artery providing blood tested by cerebrovascular TCD before and after treatment between the treated group and the control group.MethodsStudy was performed on 50 patients with CSA,which was proved by X-ray,who was from in-patient departments of acupuncture and moxibustion of HuBei hospital of traditional Chinese medicine and was randomdly divided into 2 groups:acupuncture group,which was composed of 30 patient who were treated only by acupuncture;control group,comprised 20 patients treated by massage therapy.We compared the indexes of vertebral artery providing blood tested by cerebrovascular TCD,syndrom and the index of ache before and after treatment between the treated group and the control group,and estimate the comparability,difference and superior.Result1 There is comparability between the two groups verified by X~2-test.2 Clinic Evaluation The remarkably improved rate of the acupuncture group was 73.3%and the effective rate was 93.3%.The remarkably improved rate of the massage group was 65%and the effective rate was 85%.Analyzed by radit,there were significant differences between the two groups(P<0.05),Obviously,the acupuncture group was superior to the massage group. 3 The changes of the indexes of vertebral artery providing blood tested by cerebrovascular TCD before and after treatment:Compared to that before treating,the indexes of vertebral artery providing blood after treating were significantly improved.ConclusionBoth acupucture andmassagecan improve the blood-providing, syndrom and decrease the index of ache,both have preferable therapeutic effects on CSA,but the acupuncture group is superior to massage one.Acupucture has remarkable clinic effects on CSA,it can be applied conveniently and it likely has no vice or poisonous effects.It can be accepted and shoud be worth applying further in practic.
