It is difficult to treat patients with long term dizziness. Many of these patients complain of headache, stiff neck, and eye strain in addition to the dizzy sensation. We evaluated the efficacy of a therapeutic method combining anesthetization and acupuncture to the treatment of headache, stiff neck, and eye strain in patients with long term dizziness. Forty-one patients with long term dizziness were injected with 0.5% lidocain into acupuncture points BL10 and GB20, which are known to be effective for the treatment of vertigo, tinnitus, and releasing muscle tension in the head, neck and back. It is our hypothesis that the lidocaine may benefit in the acute setting and in augmenting the long term efficacy of the accupuncture. This method improved the dizzy sensation in 50% of patients, stiff neck in 90% of patients, headache or eyestrain in 80% of patients. Because the vestibulospinal reflex, equilibrium disturbances may cause compensatory strain on the neck and back muscles resulting in complications, such as stiff neck, in these patients. By alleviating these strain symptoms in this patient population, the treatment's effect was to improve their dizzy sensation as well.
