Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical effect of milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the focus of tendon knot in treating cervical headache under the guidance of Jingjin region theory. Methods Fifty-nine patients with cervical headache who were admitted to the Rehabilitation Centre, the People′s Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from November 2017 to December 2018 and met the inclusion criteria for cervical headache were selected as the subjects. They were divided into milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the focus of tendon knot group (29 cases) and milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the conventional point group (30 cases) by the random number table method. In the milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the focus of tendon knot group, the hand and foot Taiyang Jingjin, hand and foot Shaoyang Jingjin, hand and foot Yangming Jingjin proximal and distal ganglion lesions around the head and neck were selected treated with millimite acupuncture under the guidance of Jingjin theory. In the milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the conventional point group, tianzhu point, fengchi point, gungu point, shouljing point, hegu point, taichong point, and zulinqi point were routinely selected for mile-fire acupuncture treatment. Once every 3 days, 9 days was a course of treatment. The digital headache score, headache duration, headache frequency, neck range of motion and clinical effect before and after treatment were compared between the two groups after 2 courses of treatment. Results After treatment, per week on average headache, headache every time duration, and degree of headache digital score of the two groups was significantly decreased before treatment, and milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the focus of tendon knot group was lower than milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the conventional point group (P ＜ 0.05). After treatment, the neck range of motion score of the two groups was significantly higher than those before treatment, and milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the focus of tendon knot group was hihger than milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the conventional acupoint group (P ＜ 0.05). The clinical effect of milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the focus of tendon knot group was higher than that of milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the conventional acupoint group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The curative effect of milli-fire needle acupuncturing at the focus of tendon knot in treating cervical headache is significant, which can obviously improve the clinical symptoms of patients with cervical headache.
