[Influence of manipulation on arteria vertebralis morphology and blood flow speed of cervical vertigo].

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the influence of manipulation on cervical vertigo arteria vertebralis morphology and blood flow speed.

METHODS: Forty-five patients with cervical vertigo included 27 males and 18 females with an average age of 41.6 years old ranging from 25 to 60. The course of disease was from 2 weeks to 5 years. TCD were applied to test arteria vertebralis blood flow speed and 3D-CTA applied to inspect arteria vertebralis morphology as the observation targets. According to the morphology change different stage localization, the 3-step manipulation were adopt to observe the arteria vertebralis blood flow speed and the morphology influence.

RESULTS: After cervical manipulation, the scoring of vertigo symptoms were improved remarkable (P<0.001); Among the patients of blood flow speed reduced and the patients of blood flow speed increased, the Vm before treament compared with after treament, there were statistical difference (P<0.01). The arteria vertebralis morphology partial patient had changed.

CONCLUSION: The cervical manipulation exceptionally has the bidirectional control action to arteria vertebralis morphology change and blood flow speed in the cervical vertigo, and can cause the partial blood tubular-shaped condition to have the reversal changed.
