Article Synopsis
- Acupuncture at Fengchi (GB20) has been shown to improve vertigo but carries some risk of serious complications like subarachnoid hemorrhage and spinal epidural hematoma.
- A study was conducted to assess the safety of various acupuncture techniques in treating vertigo caused by posterior circulation ischemia, involving 136 patients across different acupuncture methods.
- The results indicated that the acupuncture treatment was relatively safe, with only minor adverse events reported and no significant health changes seen pre- and post-treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different acupuncture techniques affect blood flow and vertigo symptoms in patients with posterior circulation ischemia (PCI).
- Participants, totaling 144, will be divided into four treatment groups that each receive acupuncture at the Fengchi (GB 20) point with varying manipulation styles over 14 sessions.
- The effectiveness will be assessed using both subjective and objective measures, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of treatment outcomes while minimizing placebo effects.

Article Synopsis
- Acupuncture is shown to be an effective treatment for cerebral ischemia, and its therapeutic outcomes depend on the duration of the acupuncture session.
- In a study on rats, needling the Neiguan (PC6) acupoint at a frequency of 3 Hz for different time lengths (5, 60, and 180 seconds) revealed that 60 seconds produced the best results.
- The 60-second acupuncture session improved cerebral blood flow, neurological recovery, and reduced the size of cerebral infarcts, making it a promising approach for ischemic stroke treatment.
