Results The total effective rate was 89.71% and 85.71% in the treatment group and the control group respectively. Blood flowing speed of the left vertebral artery, right vertebral artery,and basilar artery average showed remarkable change (P＜0.01) after the treatment in the treatment group,, whose effects were better than the control group (P＜0.05).
