Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The cause and the mechanism of sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis are unclear, and there is no objective checking standard. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound apparatus can directly monitor the blood flow velocity of vertebro-basilar artery and can be considered as the significant indicator to diagnose the sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis. However, reports on the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on blood flow velocity of vertebrobasilar artery in sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis are rare.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen to blood flow velocity of vertebro-basilar artery in sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis.
METHODS: The patients with sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis were randomly divided into two groups. The observation group took the computer-controlled pulse traction (Lueneburg health care company, Germany) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Control group barely using computer-controlled pulse traction (Lueneburg health care company, Germany). The bilateral vertebral artery and basilar artery were detected with Doppler examination before and after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The bilateral vertebral arteries and basilar artery blood flow in 41 patients with low blood flow velocity in the observation group were significantly increased (P < 0.01); the bilateral vertebral arteries and basilar artery blood flow in 22 patients with high blood flow velocity were decreased significantly (P < 0.01). In the control group, the blood flow velocity in systolic left vertebral artery and diastolic basilar artery was changed and others were not changed. The cure rate and the efficient rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Hyperbaric oxygen can bilateral regulate the velocity of vertebro-basilar artery in sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis. And the blood flow velocity motoring can be used as an objective basis to the diagnosis and treatment of sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis, While, hyperbaric oxygen is a more effective therapy for sympathetic nerve type of cervical spondylosis.
