The Study Of Warming Acupuncture On Treating Vertebral Artery Type Cervical Spondylosis

Background of theoryIn recent years, the incidence of cervical disease increased significantly. According to the survey, about 7%-10% people in China has suffered from Cervical Spondylosis. Vertebral Artery Type Cervical Spondylosis is a kind of Cervical Spondylosis. It is caused by vertebral-basilar insufficiency for the compression or irritation of vertebral artery. It clinically factors in dizziness, headache, tinnitus, nausea and vomiting, especially the dizziness by which people's life are seriously affected. At present, cervical spondylosis is mainly treated by a way of non-surgical, including Traction, Physiotherapy, massage, etc. Acupuncture treatment is a good way to treat Vertebral Artery Type Cervical Spondylosis, with good efficacy, more methods, less side effect, which is worth promoting. A large number of clinical reports confirmed: Acupuncture plays a irreplaceable role in treating the disease. It is effective when other treatments with no helps. At present, on the treatment of acupuncture, it has difficulty on promoting and international exchange because it is not normative. On one hand, the reports on CSA are solely on CSA, paying little attention to the research of its classification. On the other hand, on the clinical research of Acupuncture, there are more emphasis on improvement of symptoms and signs instead of the mechanism, and it lacks objective indicators of efficacy. This subject study uses the modern scientific research methods, clinical epidemiology and data technology, combined with modern scientific research methods to study traditional acupuncture treatment for cervical spondylosis, build a multi-dimensional indicators of clinical efficacy evaluation system, look for a set of standardized, effective, non-side effects of treatment options for Vertebral Artery Type cervical spondylosis.Objective Analyze the curative effect of warming acupuncture treatment on vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.MethodsBy adopting prospective random control test, we take 60 patients of Vertebral Artery Type cervical spondylosis from out-patient and in-patient department as the objects of study, which are randomly divided into two groups, named experimental group (warming acupuncture group) and control group (acupuncture group), Then we research the conclusion of the effectiveness of warming acupuncture on vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis after the analysis by statistics method.ResultsThe result shows that after two course of treatment the both groups can improve dizziness, headache and the abilities of daily life, and have certain improvement on the neck and shoulder pain. By statistical analysis, P< 0.001, there are significant differences. In conclusion, the experimental group is better than the control group.ConclusionsWarming acupuncture treatment is a way to treat vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis with good efficacy and little side-effect. Acupuncture is good for spasmolysis. Moxibustion providing warm effect, can treat chronic inflammation, enhance phagocytosis, cause arterial congestion, improve blood circulation, reduce nerve excitability, so it has analgesic effect. Warming acupuncture plays the dual role of acupuncture and moxibustion. It can reduce sympathetic nerve around the vertebral artery by the heat produced by burning moxa going into patient' s body to the deep through the needle, so that it can reduce or lift the vertebral artery spasm. In addition, the heat can adjust the function of the nervous system, promote the dissipation and absorption of aseptic inflammation, accelerate local blood circulation, improve metabolism and nutrient vessels and nerves by stimulating the thermal sensor of skin.
