Summary:To observe the effect of needle-pricking bleeding combined with pulling-rotating manipulation and simple manipulation on blood rheology in vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis (VATCS) patients, so as to analyze their mechanisms in relieving VATCS. A total of 198 VATCS patients were randomly divided into treatment group (n=101) which was treated with needle-pricking plus pulling-rotating manipulation, and control group (n=97) which was treated with simple pulling-rotating manipulation, according to the random number table. The treatment was given once every 7 days, 9 times altogether. The peak systolic blood flow velocity (Vpeak), end-diastolic blood velocity (Vmin), pulsatility index (PI) and resistent index (RI) of bilateral vertebral arteries (VA) and basilar artery (BA) were detected by transcranial doppler sonography (TCD). Whole blood apparent viscosity and the plasma viscosity in the treatment group were determined by using a blood viscosimeter. Of the 101 and 97 VATCS cases in the treatment and c
