Cervical vertigo is a common complication of atlantoaxial joint dislocation. However, there is no consensus on the effects of different therapies on the recovery of the patients suffering cervical vertigo. The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of traction therapy on reducing cervical vertigo induced by atlantoaxial joint dislocation. A total of 96 patients were randomized to receive traction therapy or traditional therapy for two weeks. The overall clinical efficacy was measured based on the 30-point cervical vertigo symptom and function evaluation form. The therapeutic effects were also evaluated based on lateral atlantodental space (LADS), vertigo scale, neck and shoulder pain scale, headache scale, daily life and work scale, psychosocial adaptation scale, and quality of life. Compared with the traditional therapy group, the traction group demonstrated markedly higher overall clinical efficacy (P=0.038). Both the traction therapy group and the traditional therapy group showed significant decrease in LADS (Po0.001), but the traction therapy group had a greater reduction of LAD compared with the traditional group (Po0.01). Traction therapy consistently led to significantly greater relief of cervical vertigo symptoms, including dizziness, neck and shoulder pain, headache, inconvenience in daily living and work activities, impaired psychosocial adaptation, while improving quality of life. The efficacy of traction therapy for cervical vertigo surpasses that of traditional therapy, suggesting that traction therapy is potentially more clinically useful in treating these patients.

Objective: this work aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of artificial intelligence-based acupuncture combined with comprehensive drugs in the treatment of lung cancer (LC) and its intervention effect in the side effects after chemotherapy. Methods: 88 patients with LC confirmed in Affiliated Quanzhou First Hospital of Fujian Medical University were studied. They were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (EG-laser acupuncture robot + integrated Chinese and Western medicine program) and the control group (integrated Chinese and Western medicine program), with 44 cases. The therapeutic effects and chemotherapy side effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed.In the EG, the number of patients whose treatment effects were not significantly effective, effective, and ineffective was 2, 33, and 9, and the number of patients whose treatment effects were not significantly effective, effective, and ineffective was 3, 20, and 21, respectively in the controls, P < 0.05. After treatment, the scores of each dimension in the EG and controls were 30.7 ± 11.2 VS 33.9 ± 10.07, 20.08 ± 4.33 VS 24.5 ± 5.11, 8.77 ± 3.31 VS 11.6 ± 2.88, 8.33 ± 3.36 VS 9.36 ± 4.08, 3.22 ± 1.18 VS 5.31 ± 1.27, P <0.05. After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores of the EG and controls were 19.8 ± 6.06 and 23.6 ± 7.33, P < 0.05. After treatment, the number of patients with nausea and vomiting grade 0, I, II, III, and IV in the EG and controls was compared, and the results were 20 VS 7, 18 VS 3, 3 VS 20, 2 VS 10, and 1 VS 4, P < 0.05. After treatment, the PFS score of the EG was 4.87 ± 2.01, and the PFS score in the controls was 7.11 ± 1.68, P < 0.05. After treatment, the measured values of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ in the two groups were 56.08 ± 22.3 VS 52.9 ± 21.81, 35.2 ± 12.3 VS 31.3 ± 11.09, and 26.08 ± 7.74 VS 20.7 ± 8.35, P < 0.05. Acupuncture combined with integrated medicine has a high application value in the treatment of LC and the reduction of adverse reactions (AR).
