Methods： A total of 60 cases meeting the inclusion criteria were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. Cases in the observation group received liver-regulating and blood-tonifying acupuncture, in which Jiaji （EX-B 2） points of C3_C7, Ganshu （BL 18） and Geshu （BL 17） were used; cases in the control group received routine acupuncture treatment in which jiaji （EX-B2） points of C3.C7 were used. Both groups received 5 times of treatment in a week with a 2-day rest, symptoms evaluation was done after 4 weeks of treatment, and then therapeutical effect was evaluated. Results： The total effective rate was 90.0% in the observation group, 73.3% in the control group, and inter-group comparison showed a statistical significance （P〈0.05）. After treatment, the symptoms and signs scores in both groups all substantially dropped, showing statistical significances （both P〈0.05）; inter-group comparison showed that the improvements in subscales of dizziness, pressing pain along vertebrae and revolve-cervix test in the observation group were superior than those in the control group, showing statistical significances （all P〈0.05）, while the inter-group comparisons of subscales of headache and vomiting and nause didn＇t show any statistical significances after treatment （both P〉0.05）. Conclusion： Liver-regulating and blood-tonifying acupuncture is effective in treating cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type, and it can significantly improve patients＇ symptoms and signs.展开更多
