Effect of Warming Acupuncture and Moxibustion Combined with Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction on Hemodynamics and TCM Syndrome of Cervical Vertigo Patients with Qi and Blood Deficiency Syndrome
Objective To explore the clinical effect of warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction on cervical vertigo with deficiency of qi and blood. Methods A total of 84 patients with cervical vertigo admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 42 cases in each group. The control group was treated with western medicine,and the observation group was treated with warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction on the basis of the control group,both groups were treated continuously for 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy,hemodynamics,TCM syndrome score,Evaluation Scale for Cervical Vertigo (ESCV) score,Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) score and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment,the maximum systolic flow rates of left vertebra,right vertebra and basilar artery in the observation group were (42.39±4.15)cm/s,(43.71±4.22)cm/s and (47.72±4.29)cm/s,respectively,it was faster than (38.68±3.78)cm/s,(39.63±3.81)cm/s and (43.15±4.23)cm/s of control group,and the differences between groups were statistically significant (P<0.05);the TCM syndrome scores of dizziness,vertigo,palpitation and tinnitus in the observation group were (0.75±0.12) points,(0.65±0.11) points,(0.59±0.11) points and (0.51±0.11) points,respectively,it was lower than (0.89±0.14) points,(0.78±0.13) points,(0.72±0.12) points,(0.69±0.12) points of the control group,and the differences between groups were statistically significant (P<0.05);the ESCV score of the observation group was (24.63±2.41) points,which was higher than (19.78±2.39) points of the control group,and the DHI score was (12.18±1.25) points,which was lower than (15.03±1.34) points of the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). No adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusion Warming acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Tongqiao Huoxue Decoction can improve the therapeutic effect of cervical vertigo,correct hemodynamic abnormalities,and accelerate the disappearance of vertigo symptoms,which is safe and reliable.
