Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of hydro acupuncture therapy for treatment of vertigo induced by vertebroartery type cervical spondylopathy and to study its action mechanisms. Methods: A total of 54 cases of vertebroartery type cervical spondylopathy patients were observed in the present study. Fengfu (GV 16) and Jiaji (EX B 2) near the regenerated cervical vertebral body were used for injection of Ligustrazine injectio, 1 mL every acupoint, once every other day, with 7 sessions being a therapeutic course. Before and after treatment, cerebral blood flow volume was determined using a Doppler velocimeter. Results: After 2 weeks’ treatment, of the 54 cases, 28 (51.9%) had their vertigo disappeared, 13 (24.1%) had remarkable improvement, 10 (18.5%) had improvement and 3 (5.5%) failed in the treatment, with an effective rate of 94.5%. After treatment, the peak and mean values of the blood flow velocity of the bilateral vertebral arteries and the basilar artery increased significantly in comparison with pre treatment ( P <0.01). Conclusion: Hydro acupuncture therapy has an obvious therapeutic effect for relieving vertebroartery type vertigo and ameliorating cerebral blood supply.
