Objective To observe the clinical effect of self-made heated medicinal pillow and Betahistine on the acute attack of cervical vertigo.Methods The 70 enrolled patients were randomized into two groups.The treatment group was given Betahistine intravenous infusion and heated medicinal pillow treatment
and the control group was simply given Betahistine intravenous infusion.The symptom improvement of two groups was compared with the effect evaluation criteria and VSI vestibular symptom rating scale for analyzing the effect of heated medicinal pillow.Results The cure rate of the treatment group and the control group was 17.14% and 8.57% respectively
with significant difference(P<0.05);the total effective rate of the treatment and control group was 100% and 97.15% respectively
without significant difference(P>0.05).Th treatment group was also better in the VSI vestibular symptom scale score than the control group
the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of acute stage of cervical vertigo
the effect of heated medicinal pillow and Betahistine is better than that of single use of Betahistine.
