    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare therapeutic effects of acupuncture at lateral cervical Jiaji and at traditional Jiaji points on cervical spondylosis of vertebroarterial type. METHODS: Seventy-two cases of vertebroarterial type cervical spondylosis were randomly divided into a needling lateral cervical Jiaji group (n=40) and a traditional Jiaji group (n=32). After 2 courses, therapeutic effects were evaluated and ultrasound Doppler's detection of skull was conducted. RESULTS: The therapeutic effect in the lateral cervical Jiaji group was better than that in the traditional Jiaji group (P < 0.05); And there was a significant or very significant difference between the two groups in the velocity of blood flow and the index of vascular pulsation (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The results of acupuncture at lateral cervical Jiaji points is better than that of acupuncture at traditional Jiaji points for treatment of cervical spondylosis of vertebroarterial type.
