Efficacy analysis of warm electroacupuncture for treating cervical vertigo of Qi-xue deficiency type
Objective To observe the clinical effect of warm electroacupuncture on cervical vertigo of Qi-xue deficiency type.Methods In the acupuncture and moxibustion and orthopedic outpatient department of Shanghai Ruijin Rehabilitation Hospital,from March 2021 to May 2023,sixty-six patients with cervical vertigo of Qi-xue deficiency type were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group and there were 33 cases in each group.Both groups of patients were treated with acupuncture at Baihui(GV20)point and Eight Nape-point,and matched acupoints with the symptoms.And then,the observation group was connected to the experience points adjacent to the C2 and C6 vertebrae on both sides(one group on the same side)using a warm electric acupuncture and moxibustion comprehensive treatment device with warm electroacupuncture mode,and the control group did not turn on the heating mode.The intensity of the electric acupuncture device was suitable for the patient's tolerance,30 minutes each time,once every other day,3 times a week,2 weeks as one course of treatment,and 2 courses were treated in all.The therapeutic effect was evaluated through TCM syndrome score,score of evaluation scale for Cervical vertigo(ESCV)and changes in vertebral artery RI and PSV.Results Sixty-one patients completed the study,with 5 cases falling out,including 30 in the observation group and 31 in the control group.After all the treatments,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores,scores of ESCV,and vertebral artery RI left,RI right and PSV left,PSV right of the two groups of patients showed significant improvement compared to the same group before the first treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.01);The improvement of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores in the observation group was higher than that in the control group.The improvement of dizziness,neck and shoulder pain,psychological and social adaptation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of headache,daily life and work compared to the control group(both P>0.05);The improvement degree of vertebral artery RI left,RI right and PSV left,PSV right in the observation group was better than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The total effective rates of the observation group and the control group were 93.3%and 77.4%respectively,and the difference in the overall efficacy level distribution between the two groups of patients was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Warm electroacupuncture can significantly alleviate the symptoms of cervical vertigo patients and improve vertebral artery blood flow,especially the electroacupuncture mode which has better effect,and has good safety.It can be promoted and applied in clinical practice.
