Abstract：Objective:To explore the effect of thunder-fire moxibustion combined with modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction on posterior circulation ischemic vertigo(PCIV).Method:A total of 60 inpatients diagnosed with PCIV according to the relevant diagnostic criteria in the Department of Neurology or the Fifth District of Internal Medicine of Jiangmen City Xinhui District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from April 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the study objects,the patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method,30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,and the observation group was treated with thunder-fire moxibustion combined with modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction on the basis of the control group,the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom scores,clinical efficacy and vertebral-basilar artery hemodynamics were compared between two groups.Result:After treatment,the TCM symptom scores in two groups were lower than those before treatment,and that in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group(86.7%)was higher than that of the control group(56.7%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the blood flow velocity(VM)of bilateral vertebral artery and basilar artery in two groups were higher than those before treatment,and those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);however,there were no significant differences in the pulsatility index(PI)of bilateral vertebral artery and basilar artery between two groups before and after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion:Thunder-fire moxibustion combined with modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction in the treatment of PCIV can effectively improve the microcirculation of patients,increase arterial compliance,and thus improve the clinical efficacy.
