Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the treatment effect of micro acupotomy and stellate ganglion stimulation on cervical vertigo. 90 patients with cervical vertigo were randomly divided into two groups, observation group and control group, with 45 cases in each group. The observation group was given micro acupotomy and stellate ganglion stimulation and the control group was given regular acupuncture treatment. The two groups were treated for 2 w. The therapeutic effect and evaluation of symptoms and functions of cervical vertigo score of the two groups of patients after treatment were observed. The mean blood flow levels of vertebrobasilar artery, right vertebral artery and left vertebral artery before and after treatment were observed. The results show that there were significant differences in mean changes of vertigo symptoms and functional scores between the two groups of patients (p<0.01) and the improvement of the observation group was larger than that of the control group (p<0.05); there was significant difference in the speeds of the blood flow of the vertebral-basal artery between the two groups before and after treatment (p<0.05) and the improvement of the observation group was larger than that of the control group (p<0.05). By comparison, the clinical effects of the two groups were statistically different (p<0.05), no side effects occurred in the two groups of patients. Micro acupotomy combined with stellate ganglion stimulation is effective in treating cervical vertigo.
