Objective：To observe the clinical effect of blade needle for cervicogenic headache.MethodsDivided 60 cases of patients with cervicogenic headache into two groups randomly，30 cases in each group.The blade-needle group receivedblade-needle therapy，while the medicine group was given nimesulide dispersible tablets.Evaluated pain of the two groups with simplified McGill pain questionnaire before treatment and in the 9thday after treatment，and then observed whether there was any adverse reaction.ResultsAfter treatment，the sensory scores of pain rating index(PRI)and total scores in both groups were decreased，differences being significant(P＜0.05).The respective comparisons of sensory scores and total scores between the two groups showed significance in differences(P ＜ 0.05).After treatment，the scores of visual analogue scales(VAS)of pain and present pain intensity(PPI)were all decreased when compared with those before treatment，differences being significant(P＜0.05).The scores in the blade-needle group were decreased more remarkably in comparison between the two groups，differences being significant(P ＜ 0.05)，which indicated both treatments were effective and the blade-needle therapy was superior to the therapy of oral nimesulide dispersible tablets.There was no acupuncture syncope，infection and other adverse reaction being found during the process of study.ConclusionBlade-needle therapy can obviously relieve the symptoms of headache and has good curative effect in treating cervicogenic headache，which is worthy of clinical application.
