针刺配合循经叩刺治疗椎动脉型颈椎病疗效观察

Therapeutic Observation on Acupuncture plus Along-meridian Tapping-needling for Cervical Spondylosis of Vertebral Artery Type

目的观察针刺配合循经叩刺治疗椎动脉型颈椎病的临床疗效。方法将82例椎动脉型颈椎病患者随机分为治疗组44例和对照组38例。治疗组采用针刺配合循经叩刺治疗,对照组采用常规针刺治疗,治疗3个疗程后统计疗效。结果治疗组痊愈率和总有效率分别为68.2%和100.0%,对照组分别为26.3%和86.8%,两组比较差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01,P<0.05)。结论针刺配合循经叩刺是一种治疗椎动脉型颈椎病的有效方法。

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of combining acupuncture and along-meridian tapping-needling in treating cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type. Method Eighty-two patients with cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type were randomized into a treatment group （n=44） and a control group （n=38）. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus along-meridian tapping-needling and the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated after 3 treatment courses. Result The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 68.2% and 100.0% in the treatment group versus 26.3% and 86.8% in the control group, and the differences were both statistically significant （P〈0.01,P〈0.05）. Conclusion Combining acupuncture and along-meridian tapping-needling is an effective approach in treating cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type.
