Heat-sensitive Moxibustion Therapy and Chinese Herbal Medicine in Treatment of Cervical Spondylotic Arteriopathy(CSA)
Objective:To observe the hemodynamic influence of vertebro-basilar artery and improvement of symptoms by the treatment of(cervical spondylotic arteriopathy)CSA with heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy and Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction.Method:The patients were randomized into a 40-case control group treated with Flunarizine Capsule and a 40-case treatment group with heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy and Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction.Individually transcranial doppler(TCD) check was done and symptomatic change was noted.Result:Heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy and Chinese herbal medicine significantly improve the systolic peak of vertebro-basilar artery(P<0.05)
which differ significantly from the control group(P<0.05);in treatment group the total effective rate of symptomatic improvement was 92.5%
while in control group was 77.5%.The significant difference existed(P<0.05).Conclusion:Heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy and Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction can significantly improve the systolic peak of vertebro-basilar artery and the therapeutic effect of CSA.
