Disapperance of aural vertigo after acupuncture treatment of an inner ear point / 全日本鍼灸学会雑誌

Patients with aural vertigo on changing their position in bed were selected for an investigation of the effects of acupuncture on aural vertigo. Second, the effects of acupuncture were compared among two points on the inner ear, Jia'che point (ST-6) and Tinggong's (SI-19), using the Fukuda's vestibular function test. By acupuncture treatment on a point used to treat inner ear symptoms, aural vertigo disappeared and scores on Fukuda's vestibular function test improved. Acupuncture treatment of an inner ear point was shown to be effective for the aural vertigo.
