Abstract

Objective:To observe the effect of electro-acupuncture in combination with stellate ganglion block on vertebral-artery-type cervical spondylosis(CSA).Methods:120 cases of CSA were divided into 3 groups:electro-acupuncture group,stellate ganglion block group and combined treatment group.The changes were measured by the clinic symptom scale before and after treatment.Results:After treatment for 2 weeks,the scores of clinic symptom scale were significantly lower and the healing rate and total effective rate were higher in the combined treatment group than in electro-acupuncture group and stellate ganglion block group(P0.05,0.01).Conclusion:The stellate ganglion block combined with electro-acupuncture could significantly improve the clinical symptoms and increase the curative effectiveness of the patients with CSA.
