Abstract
Purpose of the study: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Diadynamic current stimulation on Vertebral artery blood flow in Cervical spondylotic patients.Subjects:fifteen patients (7 men and 8 women) who were diagnosed as Cervical Spondylosis participated and completed the procedure of the study, Their ages ranged from 40 to 53 years with the mean value of age was (47.13±4.34 year), They were selected from Orthopaedic-outpatient clinic of Ahmed Maher Teaching Hospital. Methods: All patients were first evaluated by extracranial duplex to assess vertebral artery blood flow and visual analogue scale to assess the vertebrobasilar insufficiency symptoms before and after the treatment process. All patients received Diadynamic current stimulation in sitting position, with frequency of 50 Hz and pulse duration of 10 ms and 10 ms intervals at threshold intensity without painful or burning sensation (’’MF’’ current form) for 20 minutes in each session for 8 sessions (3 sessions per week) and the electrodes were applied on the cervical region bilaterally (2 lateral electrodes and 2 posterior electrodes)
