OBJECTIVE: To explore the curative effects of warming needle moxibustion combined with manipulation massage on cervical spondylotic vertebral arteriopathy and its influence on the cerebral blood flow and cervical vertebra function. METHODS: A total of 84 patients with cervical spondylotic vertebral arteriopathy admitted to our hospital from February 2016 to June 2017 were selected, and all patients were divided into an observation group (n=42) and a control group (n=42) according to the random number table method. The patients in the control group were given conventional western treatment, and the patients in the observation group were treated with warming needle moxibustion combined with manipulation massage on the basis of the control group. After 4 weeks of treatment, the changes of main clinical symptoms (vertigo, headache, neck and shoulder pain, tinnitus), cervical function (clinical symptoms, clinical examination, daily life action) and cerebral blood flow parameters (average blood flow velocity of left vertebral artery, right vertebral artery and basilar artery) of the 2 groups were observed, and the clinical efficacy of the 2 groups were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The scores of vertigo, headache, neck and shoulder pain and tinnitus in the 2 groups were all significantly lower than before treatment (P < 0.05), and the clinical symptom scores in the observation group were significantly lower after treatment (P < 0.05);After treatment, the scores of clinical symptoms, clinical examination and daily life action in the 2 groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the increase of cervical vertebral function score in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05);The mean blood flow velocity of the left vertebral artery, right vertebral artery and the basilar artery in the 2 groups after treatment were significantly higher than before treatment (P < 0.05), and the increase of the above cerebral blood flow parameters in the observation group were higher than the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate was 92.9% in the observation group and 76.2% in the control group after treatment, and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Warming needle moxibustion combined with manipulation massage can quickly relieve the clinical symptoms of patients with cervical spondylotic vertebral arteriopathy, improve the cervical function and cerebral blood flow parameters, increase the vertebrobasilar artery blood flow, and promote the recovery of the disease.
