ABSTRACT

This study aimed to explore the effect of warm acupuncture combined with cervical core training on the near- and long-term efficacy of cervical vertigo of qi and blood deficiency type. Ninety patients were randomly divided into three groups: warm acupuncture group, cervical core group, and combined treatment group, with 30 cases each. The warm acupuncture group received only warm acupuncture, the cervical core group underwent cervical core muscle training, and the combined group received both treatments. Outcomes were measured using the Vertigo Symptom and Function Assessment Scale (ESCV), bilateral vertebral artery blood flow velocities, and treatment efficiency. Results showed that the combined treatment group had significantly better ESCV scores, improved vertebral artery blood flow velocity, and higher efficacy rates (86.67%) compared to the other groups. The study concluded that warm acupuncture combined with cervical core training effectively improves clinical symptoms and vertebral artery blood flow in patients with qi and blood deficiency type cervical vertigo.
