Cervical Vertigo, Pathogenesis, Diagnostic, TreatmentAbstract
Cervical vertigo is a common clinical disease. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous changes in lifestyle, the incidence of vertigo caused by cervical spondylosis is increasing with the increasing pressure of modern people’s work and life, and it shows a trend of getting younger. Cervical vertigo has gradually become a common disease among young people. The pathogenesis of cervical vertigo is not yet clear, and there are various theories. At present, there is no clear standard for diagnostic methods, and the treatments of cervical vertigo in traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are also very different. This article discusses the pathogenesis, diagnostic methods and treatment methods of cervical vertigo by searching relevant literature on cervical vertigo.
