Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of triple needling and conventional acupuncture in the treatment of cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type. Methods 49 cases with cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type were randomly divided into two groups ,24 patients of control group treated with conventional acupuncture,25 patients of observation group treated with triple needling,the clinical results of two groups were compared. Results The obvious effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group, there were significant differences between two groups( x2 =4. 69 ,P < 0. 05). The improvement of average flow velocity(Vm) of the observation group was better than the control group, there was significant difference between two groups ( P < 0. 05 ).Conclusion Triple needling in the treatment of cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type had better clinical results, and it was worthy of concern.
