Safety and efficacy of traditional Chinese manual therapy for cervicogenic dizziness: study protocol for a randomized, controlled, multicenter trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervicogenic dizziness is a clinical syndrome characterized by neck pain and dizziness, which has a rising incidence in recent years. In China, manual therapy has been widely used in the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness, but there is no high-quality medical evidence to support its effectiveness and safety. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of Shi's manual therapy (SMT) on the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness.

Methods

A multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) will perform on 106 patients (18≤ages≤65) who meet the diagnostic criteria of cervicogenic dizziness. Patients will be randomly allocated to the intervention group and the control group at a ratio of 1:1. Participants in the control group will be treated with Merislon
