Abstract
Objective—To observe the clinical efficacy of Dong’s extraordinary points in treating tinnitus due to cervical spondylosis. Methods—Totally 140 eligible subjects diagnosed with tinnitus due to cervical spondylosis were randomized into two groups, seventy in the treatment group were intervened by acupuncture at Dong’s extraordinary points; seventy in the control group were intervened by acupuncture at cervical Jiaji (EX-B 2) and distal points on limbs. Therapeutic efficacy was observed after a treatment course. Results—The total effective rate was 95.7% in the treatment group versus 85.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion—Compared to traditional point selection, acupuncture at Dong’s extraordinary points has advantages of fewer points, less pain, faster effect, and better therapeutic efficacy.
