Clinical advantages of ultrasound-guided acupotomy targeting the suboccipital muscles versus the posterior occipital tendinous arch for cervicogenic dizziness: a controlled trial

Ultrasound-guided acupotomy at both sites effectively alleviates cervicogenic dizziness. However, targeting the suboccipital muscles yields superior pain relief, functional recovery, and cervical mobility, with a lower incidence of adverse effects. This method is particularly suitable for patients with suboccipital muscle hypertrophy or tension.
