Jinger moxibustion for treatment of cervical vertigo --a report of 40 cases.
In order to observe the therapeutic effects of jinger moxibustion for cervical vertigo, 78 cases were randomly divided into 2 groups, of whom 40 were treated with jinger moxibustion and 38 treated with acupuncture. The results showed a cure rate of 72.5% with a total effective rate of 97.5% in the jinger moxibustion group, while 44.7% and 73.7% respectively in the acupuncture group. The comparisons between the two groups in the cure rate and the total effective rate showed significant differences (P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
Jinger moxibustion has a good therapeutic effect for treating cervical vertigo, superior to that of the acupuncture treatment.
