ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction combined with bean embedding in ear points on patients with cervical vertigo.Methods:From May 2018 to October 2020, 160 cases of cervical vertigo patients with phlegm turbidity and moderate resistance in Jinhua Central Hospital were selected as the research objects. According to the random number table method, the research objects were divided into ear acupoint buried beans group (A group, n=53), Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction group (B group, n=54), Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction combined with ear-buried beans group (C group, n=53). The three groups were treated with ear point burying bean, Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction and Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction combined with ear point burying bean for 10 consecutive days. The clinical effect, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, cerebral blood flow velocity and hemorheology of the three groups were compared. Results:There was no significant difference in the total clinical effective rate between group B and group C ( P>0.05). The total clinical effective rate of group C was significantly higher than that of group A, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After treatment, scores of vertigo, neck and shoulder pain, headache and symptoms of daily life and work in 3 groups were significantly higher than before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); The scores of TCM syndrome in group C were significantly higher than those in group A and group B, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). After treatment, the cerebral blood flow velocity of left vertebral artery (LVA), right vertebral artery (PVA), and basilar artery (BA) in the three groups were significantly increased compared with that before treatment, and the cerebral blood flow velocity of LVA, PVA, and BA in group C was significantly faster than that in A, B group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). After treatment, the plasma viscosity, whole blood high shear viscosity and hematocrit of the patients in the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the cerebral blood flow velocity of group C was significantly lower than that of group A and group B ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Banxia Baizhu Tianma decoction combined with ear acupoint buried beans in the treatment of cervical vertigo with middle resistance of phlegm and turbidity can improve the symptoms of cervical vertigo, cerebral blood flow velocity and reduce blood viscosity, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
