Method： Forty inpatients, were divided into acupuncture and Tuina group（experiment group, n= 20）, and Tuina and acupoint injection group（controlled group, n= 20） with random number table. Patients in the experimental group were firstly needied Fengchi （GB 20, major acupoint）, Taiyang （Ex-HN 5）, Baihui （GV 20）, Shuaigu （GB 8）, and Jiaji （Ex-B 2） around the affected cervical vertebrae, and applied Tuina treatment. Patients in the controlled group were treated with Tuina treatment, and then injection in Fengchi （GB 20） with 500μg of Methycobal. Before and after treatment, all patients in both groups were evaluated with Evaluation Scale for Cervicogenic Headache. Result： After treatment, score of each item of patients in both two groups were enhanced （P〈 0.01）, and compared with patients in the controlled group, patients in the experimental group had higher scores of headache（13.1±3.02 vs 10.8±2.36, P〈 0.01）, daily life and working （3.3±0.66 vs 2.6±0.79, P 〈 0.01）, mental state and social adjustment （3.1±0.85 vs 2.1±0.85, P〈 0.05）, and total points （24.6±4.36 vs 20.3±2.53, P〈 0.01）. Conclusion： Acupuncture combining with Tuina had better effects than acupoint with Tuina, and could effectively relieve pain, and enhance quality of life and ability of social adjustment in patients with cervicogenic headache.展开更多

This is caused by unstable joints or soft tissue inflammation that irritates or compresses the vessels and nerves. Contributing factors include hyperplasia of the cervical spine, cervical intervertebral disc herniation, decreased intervertebral foramen, facet derangement and surrounding soft tissue injuries. Long-term sedentary lifestyle also played a role in developing this condition. We have treated 142 cases using combined tuina and acupuncture. The results are now reported as follows.展开更多
