To study the therapeutic effect and possible mechanism when acupuncturing GB 20, cervical paravertebral and GV 20 on the patients with cervical vertigo. Methods:A total of 150 outpatients with cervical vertigo who were admitted to our department during January 2015 to December 2015, were randomly divided into GB 20 group, cervical paravertebral group and GV 20 group, with 50 cases in each group. Three groups received acupuncture treatment on GB 20, cervical paravertebral and GV 20 point respectively, once a day,10 days as 1 course, for 2 courses, and there were 3 days off during the treatment intervals. The clinical efficacy of three groups were compared after 2 courses. Results:1）There was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the effective rate among cervical paravertebral group (94.00％) and GB 20 group (82.00％), GV 20 group(78.00%), while there was no significant difference between GB 20 group and GV 20 group(P>0.05).2） After the treatment, in each group, there were significant improvements in the ESCV scores, the Vm and Vs of LVA and RVA (P<0.05). 3） After treatment，the Vm and Vs of LVA and RVA, as well as the ESCV scores in cervical paravertebral group were significantly better than the other two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of the cervical paravertebral group is significantly higher than that of the GB 20 group and GV 20 group, with less adverse reactions, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
