Abstract
We evaluated the clinical effects of acupuncture/moxibustion therapy in 7 patients with vertigo that was uncontrollable with western medicine. The observation period was 6-15 months. The 7 patients consisted of 1 male and 6 females aged 29-73 years (mean, 44.7 years). More than 4 courses or more of acupuncture/moxibustion treatment (acupuncture + warm moxibustion) were performed in each patient, and the effects were evaluated based on the results of a daily living disability questionnaire before and after treatment. In practice, these effects were classified into 4 grades (cure, improvement, no change, aggravation). Cure was observed in1patient, improvement in 5 patients, and no change in1patient, indicating this therapy was effective in 85% of the patients. None of the patients showed aggravation of their condition. In addition, no adverse effects were observed.<br>Our results suggest that acupuncture/moxibustion therapy has certain effects on intractable vertigo. Therefore, in patients with vertigo who do not respond to western medical care, such as the administration of anti-vertigo drugs, a beneficial effect of acupuncture/moxibustion as a complementary therapy can be expected.
