Abstract：Objective:To discuss the clinical curative effects of vertebroarterial cervical spondylopathy treated by positioning spinning technique combined with electro-acupuncture. Methods:Ninety patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 45 patients in each group. The observation group was given fixed-point rotation massage combined with electro-acupuncture. The electro-acupuncture apparatus is G6805-I,and dilatational wave was applied. The control group was given acupuncture plus electro-acupunc-ture. Both groups were treated for 30 minutes,and 6 times were a therapeutic course. The treatments lasted for 3 courses,and patients rested 2 or 3 days between each course. After the treatment,the curative effects were evaluated. Ten patients were randomly selected from each group and were examined with color Doppler ultrasonography to detect the thinnest vascular diameter of the left and right extracranial vertebral artery (ECVA) and the maximum systolic blood flow velocity before and after treatment. Results:After treatment, the thinnest vascular diameter of the left and right ECVA and systolic blood flow velocity were improved. The observation group were significantly better than the control group(P<0.05). The curative rates of the two groups were 84.44% and 20.00% respectively,and the total effective rates were 100.00% and 77.78% re-spectively. The observation group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Posi-tioning spinning technique combined with electro-acupuncture treatment for vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis showed significant clinical efficacy,and this treatment was obviously better than acupuncture on the improvement of the thinnest vascular diameter of the left and right ECVA and systolic blood flow veloc-ity.
