Modified "Old Ten Needles" therapy for the post circulation ischemic vertigo of Qi and blood-deficiency pattern
To observe the clinical efficacy of modified "Old Ten Needles" therapy in patients with post circulation ischemic vertigo of the Qi and blood-deficiency pattern.
Methods
2
Seventy patients with posterior circulation ischemic vertigo of the Qi and blood-deficiency pattern were randomly assigned to the treatment group (
n
=35) and the control group (
n
=35). The control group received basic treatment based on patients’ general conditions
for instance
blood pressure control
anti-platelet aggregation
lowering blood lipids
stabilizing plaques
adjusting blood sugar
improving cerebral circulation
thrombolysis and other conventional treatments. Apart from the basic treatment that the control group received
the treatment group received modified "Old Ten Needles" therapy. The clinical efficacy
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score
dizziness disorder inventory (DHI) score
average blood flow velocity of the left and right vertebral arteries and basilar artery were observed
and its safety was evaluated.
Results
2
As for the clinical efficacy
18 cases were clinically controlled
8 cases were markedly effective
7 cases were effective
and 2 cases were ineffective
with a total effective rate of 94.3% in the treatment group. In the control group
7 cases were clinically controlled
8 cases were markedly effective
9 cases were effective
and 11 cases were ineffective
with a total effective rate of 68.6%. Nonparametric test showed that as compared with the control group
the modified "Old Ten Needles" therapy had advantages in clinical effects (

indicating that the clinical efficacy was better in the treatment group than in the control group. The scores of TCM syndromes were significantly decreased after treatment as compared with before treatment in both groups (
P
<
0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment (
P
>
0.05). After treatment
the score of TCM syndromes was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (
P
<
0.05)
with a lower score of TCM syndromes in the treatment group than in the control group. The DHI scores were significantly decreased after treatment in the two groups (
P
<
0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment (
P
>
0.05)
but there was a significant difference between the two groups after treatment (
P
<
0.05)
more in the treatment group than in the control group. The average blood flow velocity of the left and right vertebral arteries and basilar artery was significantly increased in the treatment group after treatment (
P
<
0.05)
but not in the control group after treatment(
P
>
0.05). The average blood flow velocity of the left and right vertebral arteries and basilar artery was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group
and the difference before and after treatment was statistically significant (
P
<
0.05)
better in the treatment group than in the control group.
Conclusions
2
In combination with the regular treatment in Western medicine
the modified "Old Ten Needles" therapy demonstrates remarkable therapeutic efficacy in post circulation ischemic vertigo of Qi and blood-deficiency pattern.
