Clinical observation on vascular headache treated by auricular point sticking therapy

Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the clinical effect of auricular sticking therapy in treating vascular headache.

Methods

Fifty patients with vascular headache were randomized into two groups, 25 cases in each. The treatment group received auricular sticking therapy with magnetic pearls, and the control group was treated by Flunarizine Hydrochloride, 30 d as a treatment session, and the results were measured after one treatment session.

Result

The total effective rate was 92.0% in the treatment group while 60.0% in the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.01). A marked decrease of blood pressure was detected in the treatment group (P<0.05). The mean velocity in middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery both changed significantly (P<0.01).

Conclusion

Auricular sticking therapy can significantly improve the condition of vascular headache, as well as reduce blood pressure and help cerebral blood flow.

摘要

目的

观察耳穴贴压治疗血管神经性头痛的临床疗效。

方法

将50 例符合血管神经性头痛诊断的患者随机分为两组, 每组25 例。 治疗组予耳穴贴压磁珠治疗, 对照组予口服盐酸氟桂利嗪治疗, 两组病例均以30 d为1 个疗程,治疗1 个疗程后观察疗效。

结果

治疗组总有效率为92.0%, 对照组总有效率为60.0%,组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。 治疗组治疗后血压下降明显(P<0.05); 大脑中动脉(Middle Cerebral Artery, MCA)、 大脑前动脉(Anterior Cerebral Artery, ACA)平均流速变化明显 (P<0.01)。

结论

耳穴贴 压治疗血管神经性头痛疗效明显, 同时具有降血压, 改善大脑血流的作用。
