    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare therapeutic effects of long-time needle retention at Baihui (GV 20) and routine needle retention on vertebroarterial cervical spondylopathy. METHODS: One hundred and twenty cases of vertebroarterial cervical spondylopathy were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 60 cases in each group. The treatment group were treated with needle retention at Baihui (GV 20) for 8 h and electroacupuncture at local points, and the control group with needle retention at Baihui (GV 20) for 30 min and electroacupuncture at local points. RESULTS: The cured rate and the total effective rate were 70.0% and 98.3% in the treatment group and 45.0% and 86.7 in the control group with very significant difference or significant difference in the cured rate and the total effective rate between the two groups (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Long-time needle retention at Baihui (GV 20) has a better therapeutic effect on vertebroarterial cervical spondylopathy.
