[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.


CONCLUSIONS
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.
