Objective To explore the mechanism of treating vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis by compressive moxibustion on Baihui(GV 20). Methods 15 patients with vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis were treated with compressive moxibustion on GV 20 plus electro\|acupuncture on cervical Jiaji points(Ex B2), and the changes of their symptom scores, ICAM, ET and PGI 2 before and after treatment were observed and compared with those of simple electro acupuncture group. Results and Conclusion In the treatment group, ET decreased, PGI 2 increased and ICAM decreased, which indicated that the influence over the balance of ICAM, ET and PGI 2 may be one of the mechanisms in treatig this disease with compressive moxibustion on GV 20.
