Abstract:
This study was aimed to explore the action mechanism of massage treatment in combination with small needle knife to cervical spondylotic vertebral arteriopathy (CSA). A total of 400 CSA patients were randomly divided into four groups, which included group A (medicine treatment group), group B (small needle knife therapy group), group C(massage treatment group) and group D (small needle knife combined with massage treatment group). The observation was given on the average blood flow velocity (Vm), pulsatility index (PI) and treatment efficiency of ver-tebral artery(VA) and basilar artery (BA) before and after treatment among 400 cases using transcranial doppler (TCD). The results showed that TCD detection of Vm of VA and BA in group B, C and D were obviously improved after treatment; and the PI of them was close to normal. The total effective rate of group A was 66.0%, 78.6% in group B, 80.2% in group C, and 96.0% in group D. It was concluded that the treatment by massage in combination with small needle knife therapy of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis had a clear effect. Its mechanism may be related to the improvement of Vm and PI of vertebral basilar artery.
