Influence of manipulation therapy combined with Bushenhuoxue decoction for the blood hemorheology and cerebral blood flow of the patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis

Objective To observe the influence of manipulation therapy combined with Bushenhuoxue decoction for the blood hemorheology and cerebral blood flow of the patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis. Methods 95 cases of patients with vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group. The 48 cases of patients in the treatment group were given manipulation therapy combined with Bushenhuoxue decoction,and 47 cases in the control group were only given Bushenhuoxue decoction. The changes of hemorheology indexes and vertebral- basilar artery blood flow velocity before and after treatment were observed and the efficacy between the two groups was compared. Results The hemorheology indexes after treatment were reduced in comparison with those before treatment in two groups( P 0. 05). The decrease of treatment group was more significantly( P 0. 05). The vertebral- basilar artery blood flow velocity after treatment was reduced in comparison with that before treatment in two groups( P 0. 05). The decrease of treatment group was more significantly( P 0. 05). The total effective rate in treatment group( 93. 75%) was higher than that in control group( 74. 47%,P 0. 05). Conclusion The manipulation therapy combined with Bushenhuoxue decoction can obviously improve the blood hemorheology and cerebral blood flow of the patients with vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis, and can improve the treatment effect,which is worth of clinical promotion.
