Clinical study on treating 110 cases of cervical spondyiosis of vertebral artery type by acupuncture therapy of communicating governor vessel to invigorate the brain
Objective To study the relation between deficiency of vertebrobasilar blood supply and obstruction of governor vessel qi and to treat cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type ( CSA) by acupuncture therapy of communicating governor vessel to invigorate the brain. Method 110 cases of CSA were divided into two groups randomly, the test group(55 cases) and the control group(55 cases). The patients in the test group were treated by acupuncture therapy of communicating governor vessel and the patients in the control group were treated by conventional acupuncture therapy. The changes of vertebrobasilar artery' s blood supply were observed in patients of both groups. Results In the test group, the total effective rate was 92.7% ( significant efficacy, 21cases; efficacy, 30cases; inefficacy, 4cases). In the control group, the total effective rate was 58. 2% ( significant efficacy, 11 cases; efficacy,21 cases; inefficacy, 23cases). There was a dramatically difference between the two groups(P < 0.01). The cumulative scores of clinical symptoms and physical signs in the test group were lower than those in the control group (P <0.01 ). The systolic peak phase blood flow velocity ( Vs) , diastasis blood flow velocity (Vd) and mean blood flow velocity (Vm) of arteria basilaris(BA) , right vertebral artery ( RVA) and left vertebral artery ( LVA) were higher in the test group than in the control group. Conclusion The acupuncture therapy of communicating governor vessel can remove meridian-qi obstruction to nourish brain marrow. It is significant to guide clinical points selection following meridian.
