Methods: Sixty-two cases were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was treated with EA at Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points plus herbal medicine based upon the pattern differentiation. The control group was treated with oral administration of Aciclovir tablets for resisting virus, and Mecobalamin tablets for nourishing the nerves and Aciclovir cream for skin rash. The therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups, after two-week treatment Results: After 7 d of the treatment, the therapeutic effect was remarkably better in the treatment group than that in the control group (P〈0.01). After two-week treatment, the therapeutic effects were still different between the two groups (P〈0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of EA at Jiaji (Ex-B 2) points plus herbal medicine for HZ is better than that of Western medications in resisting virus and nourishing nerves.展开更多

Methods: A total of 71 PCIV cases were randomly allocated into an acupuncture group (37 cases) and a medication (oral Flunarizine Hydrochloride) group (34 cases). After 6 weeks of treatment, the therapeutic efficacies in the two groups were analyzed. Results: After treatment, the mean blood flow velocities (VM) of both the vertebral artery (VA) and the basilar artery (BA) in acupuncture group were significantly increased, showing statistical differences when compared with the pre-treatment result of the same group (P〈0.05); despite some decrease in pulsatility index (PI) after treatment, there was no statistical difference when compared with the pre-treatment result. After treatment, the mean blood flow velocities of both VA and BA in the medication group were increased, showing statistical differences when compared with the pre-treatment result of the same group (P〈0.05); there was no statistical difference in PI before and after the treatment (P〉0.05). Regarding the improvement of VM, the acupuncture group was superior to the medication group, showing a statistical difference (P〈0.05); there was no statistical difference in PI improvement between the two groups. Considering from the clinical efficacy, both acupuncture and medication are effective. However, acupuncture obtained a significantly better effect than medication (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy can posterior circulation ischemia vertigo. obtain a better effect than oral Flunarizine Hydrochloride for展开更多
