观察艾灸联合盐酸倍他司汀治疗颈性眩晕的临床疗效。

方法

将120 例颈性眩晕患者随机分为两组, 观察组60 例, 予艾灸结合静脉滴注盐酸倍他司汀治疗; 对照组60 例, 予单纯静脉滴注盐酸倍他司汀治疗。 观察治疗前后患者临床症状及功能评分变化, 比较两组临床疗效。

结果

与本组治疗前比较, 两组患者治疗后眩晕症状及功能评分均有明显改善(P<0.01)。 治疗后组间比较, 观察组眩晕症状及功能评分改善明显优于对照组(P<0.01)。 两组愈显率及总有效率亦有统计学差异(均P<0.05), 提示观察组疗效优于对照组。

结论

灸法联合盐酸倍他司汀治疗颈性眩晕疗效优于单纯盐酸倍他司汀治疗。

Abstract

Objective

To observe the clinical effect of combined moxibustion and Betahistine Hydrochloride for cervical vertigo.

Methods

A total of 120 cervical vertigo cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group, 60 cases in each group. The cases in the observation group were treated with combined moxibustion and Betahistine Hydrochloride, whereas the cases in the control group were treated with Betahistine Hydrochloride alone.

Results

The intra-group comparison showed that the vertigo symptom and functional scores were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.01). After treatment, the vertigo symptom and functional scores in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.01). In addition, there were statistical significances in recovery and marked effect rates and total effective rates between the two groups (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Combined moxibustion and Betahistine Hydrochloride works better for cervical vertigo than Betahistine Hydrochloride alone.
