Dizziness due to moderate stenosis of cervical blood vessels

Dizziness caused by moderate cervical vascular stenosis is usually due to insufficient cerebral blood supply and can be improved through general treatment, acupuncture therapy, surgical intervention, and other methods. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. General Treatment

Moderate stenosis of the neck vessels may obstruct blood flow, leading to cerebral hypoxia and ischemia, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue due to inadequate cerebral perfusion. Patients can follow medical advice to take medications such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets, Xuefu Zhuyu Pills, or Compound Danshen Tablets to dilate blood vessels and alleviate dizziness.

2. Acupuncture Therapy

Patients with moderate cervical vascular stenosis may also receive acupuncture under medical guidance. This therapy helps open veins, gradually separate hardened plaques, and promote smooth blood circulation, thereby relieving dizziness. Commonly used acupoints include Fengchi (GB20), Baihui (GV20), and Tianzhu (BL10).

3. Surgical Treatment

If patients experience persistent dizziness accompanied by tinnitus, headache, memory decline, or other discomforts, surgical treatment may be considered. Procedures such as carotid endarterectomy or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the carotid artery may be recommended.

In addition to the above treatments, auxiliary therapies such as traction, massage, and manual manipulation may also be beneficial. The specific treatment plan should be determined based on the individual patient's condition and administered under a physician’s guidance for symptom-targeted management.
