Methods: In the present study, methods of evidence-based medicine, triple-centers, single-blindness, randomization and control were used. A total of 100 cases of CSVAT patients were randomized into acupuncture plus massage (acu-massage) group (n = 38), acupuncture group (n = 32) and massage group (n = 30). Acupoints used were Fengchi (风池, GB 20), cervical Jiaji (颈夹脊 EX-B 2), Baihui (百会 GV 20), and the methods of massage used were kneading-rolling, adhesion-separating and acupoint-digital pressing, topical digital pressing and rubbing, traction-extending and mild palm-rubbing. The treatment was conducted once daily, with 7 sessions being a therapeutic course and continuously for 2 courses. Changes of peak velocity (Vp), end-diastolic velocity (Vd), mean velocity (Vm) of blood flow of the vertebral artery (VA) and basilar artery (BA), etc were detected before and after the treatment by using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography. Resuits: After the treatment, the abnormally low Vp of both VA and BA in acu-massage, acupuncture and massage groups, Vm of VA in acu-massage and acupuncture groups, Vm of BA in acu-massage and massage groups, and Vd of VA and BA in the 3 groups all increased significantly in comparison with their own pretreatment( P 〈 0.05, 0.01), and the therapeutic effects of acu-massage group in the 3 indexes were significantly superior to those of acupuncture group and/or massage group (P 〈0.05, 0.01 ). The abnormally increased Vp of VA in acu-massage and acupuncture groups, Vm of VA in the 3 groups, and Vd of VA in acu-massage and massage groups decreased obviously after the treatment in comparison with their own pretreatment (P 〈 0.05, 0.01), and the therapeutic effects of acu-massage group were significantly superior to those of acupuncture and/or massage group in the 3 indexes of VA (P〈0.05, 0.01). In addition, the abnormally increased Vp, Vm and Vd of BA in the 3 groups showed a similar tendency. No significant differences between acupuncture and massage groups in 3 indexes ( P 〉0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic effects of acupuncture plus massage is significantly superior to those of simple acupuncture and simple massage therapies in improving abnormal blood dynamics of vertebral and basilar arteries in CSVAT patients.展开更多

Methods: In the present study, triple-center, single-blind, randomized and control methods were adopted. Qualified subjects were randomly assigned to three groups: acupuncture-massage (acu-mas) group, acupuncture group, and massage group (60 subjects in each group). Bilateral Fengchi (风池 GB 20), Jiaji (夹脊 EX-B 2, C4-7) and Baihui (百会 GV 20) ware punctured in combination with massage at the neck-shoulder and back region. The treatment was conducted once daily, 14 times altogether. Results. After treatment, of the 60 cases in each of acu-mas, acupuncture and massage groups, 28, 11 and 13 were cured, 13, 20 and 17 markedly effective, 12, 14 and 16 effective, and 7, 15 and 14 ineffective, with the total effective rates being 88.3%, 75.0% and 76.7% respectively. The therapeutic effect of acu-mas group was significantly superior to that of simple acupuncture and massage groups (P〈 0.05). The scores of clinical symptoms and signs in 3 groups all declined significantly after treatment ( P〈 0.01 ), and the score of symptoms of acu-mas was markedly lower than those of acupuncture and massage groups (P〈 0.05). No significant differences were found among 3 groups in the score of clinical signs and between acupuncture and massage groups in the score of clinical symptoms (P〉0.05). The time for producing therapeutic effects in acu-mas group was significantly shorter than those of acupuncture and massage groups (P〈0.01, 0.05), meanng a faster of aou-mas group in producing clinical effect. No adverse events ware found in all the 3 groups. Conclusion: Acupuncture and massage are effective and safe in the treatment of VACS, and the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with massage is superior to that of simple acupuncture and simple massage therapy.展开更多

Methods Ninety cases of CSA patients were randomized divided into an acupuncture plus rehabilitation group, a warm needling group and a rehabilitation group, 30 cases in each. In the acupuncture + rehabilitation group, the warm needling therapy was used at Jiájǐ (夹脊 EX-B 2) from C3 to C7 in combination with the rehabilitation physiotherapy such as traction and magnetic therapy. In the warm needling group, the simple warm needling therapy was applied. In the rehabilitation group, the simple rehabilitation physiotherapy was adopted. The VBA hemodynamic parameters, Vp, Vd, Vm and PI values were detected under the transcranial Doppler and taken as the indexes for the efficacy assessment of the groups. The efficacy of each group was assessed in association with the clinical curative rate. Results After treatment, the VBA hemodynamic parameters, Vp, Vd, Vm and PI values were all remarkably improved as compared with those before treatment in the three groups (P〈0.01, P〈0.05). The improvement of the indexes in the acupuncture plus rehabilitation group were more significant as compared with either of the other two groups (all P〈0.01). The clinical curative rate was 70.0% (21/30) in the acupuncture plus rehabilitation group, which was superior to 53.3% (16/30) in the warm needling group and 53.3% (16/30) in the rehabilitation group (all P〈0.01). Conclusion The warm needling in combination with the rehabilitation physiotherapy significantly improves in VBA hemodynamic parameters for CSA and its clinical efficacy is superior to either the simple warm needling or the rehabilitation physiotherapy. Hence, this combined therapy was highly deserved to be promoted in clinical practice.展开更多
