Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with tuina in treating patients with cervical vertigo.
Methods: According to the principle of randomization, 258 cases with cervical vertigo who met the inclusion criteria for the study were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 129 cases in each. The patients in the observation group received acupuncture combined with tuina therapy , while those in the control group were just treated by the same acupuncture therapy as in the observation group. After 10-day continuous treatments, the clinical efficacies of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 100%, versus 86.0% of the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05%). After treatment, cervical range of motion (ROM) scores in both groups were statistically significantly different from those before treatment (all P<0.05); in addition, there was a statistically significant difference in inter-group comparison of ROM score (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with simple acupuncture treatment, acupuncture combined with tuina therapy has a better effect in improving the ROM of cervical vertigo patients, with higher clinical efficacy.
