针刺推拿中药综合治疗颈性眩晕疗效观察

目的观察针刺推拿中药综合治疗颈性眩晕的疗效。方法设综合组80例、电针组42例、推拿组68例和中药组36例,进行疗效比较分析。结果综合组有效率为93.8%,电针组有效率为73.8%,推拿组有效率为86.8%,中药组有效率为69.4%,综合组有效率与其他几组比较差异均有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论采用电针、推拿、中药相结合的综合疗法治疗颈性眩晕集诸单一疗法之精华,避免单一疗法的局限性,可提高有效率。     

中医对脊柱相关疾病中眩晕与腰痛的认识

脊柱相关疾病是指颈、胸、腰椎的骨关节、椎间盘及椎周围软组织遭受损伤或退行性改变，在一定诱因条件下发生脊柱小关节错位、椎间盘突出、韧带钙化或骨质增生，直接或间接对神经根、椎管内外血管、脊髓或交感神经等产生刺激或压迫，导致脊椎损伤疾患以外的多系统症状和体征的疾病。本文将对眩晕和腰痛从中医的病因病理、与经络的关系、治疗方法等方面做一综述。     

不同眩晕证型两侧脑血流速度差变化与症状的关系研究

目的:为了观察不同眩晕证型中的脑血流速度差大于正常与临床症状之间的关系。方法:应用经颅多普勒超声检查方法,观察颅底各个相对应大血管血流速度两侧差值的变化。结果:各种不同眩晕证型之间的差值有非常显著性的差异,各个指标之间均存在着不同的差异,这些差异性的变化多数与临床表现的头痛有着密切的关系。结论:使用此方法可以更早期地评价不同眩晕证型脑血管功能状态的水平,以便为临床提供可靠的诊断依据。另一方面也充分地说明了经颅多普勒超声对脑血管功能的观察是一项十分敏感的观察指标。     

Presumed vestibular hemorrhage secondary to warfarin

Hemorrhage secondary to anticoagulant therapy is well documented. We report a patient who presented with acute vertigo and unilateral deafness while on warfarin and was found to have a probable hemorrhage in the labyrinth, identified on MRI.     

Postmarketing study of the use of flunarizine in vestibular vertigo and in migraine

Objective: This international postmarketing observational study of flunarizine was designed to evaluate, in routine clinical practice, the risk/benefit ratio of flunarizine in its approved indications, namely prophylaxis of migraine and treatment of vertigo. Comparator drugs were propranolol in migraine and betahistine in vertigo. The study was carried out by 498 general practitioners in Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany, whose participation had been requested by mail. In total 3186 patients were entered: 1601 in the two migraine cohorts and 1585 in the two vertigo cohorts. Results: In the migraine study, treatment results with propranolol tended to be somewhat better than those with flunarizine, but a selection bias cannot be excluded. There was no clear difference regarding efficacy between flunarizine and betahistine in the vertigo study. The safety evaluation focused on extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and depression. Overall, EPS were noted in only four patients, two in the vertigo-betahistine and two in the migraine-flunarizine cohort. A total of 70 patients developed depressive symptoms (34 in the flunarizine and 24 in the propranolol migraine cohorts, but only 7 in the flunarizine and 5 in the betahistine vertigo cohorts). Patients with migraine were clearly more prone to depression than patients with vertigo, regardless of their treatment. Additional risk factors for depression were a history of depression, and, in the migraine flunarizine cohort, a high number of previous migraine treatments.

"Fatigue on rest" and associated symptoms (headache, vertigo, blurred vision, nausea, tension and irritability) due to locally asymptomatic, unerupted, impacted teeth.

"Fatigue on Rest", headache, vertigo and the feeling of loss of balance, blurred vision, nausea, tension and irritability, were found to be prevalent amongst patients who had locally asymptomatic, unerupted impacted teeth. A comparative pressure sign was developed, which, when positive, confirmed the relationship between the impacted teeth and the medical symptoms. Removal of the impactions resulted in the alleviation of the symptoms. Stress and psychogenic factors are considered as trigger mechanisms, rather than as basic causes of the symptoms.
