[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in blood flow velocity and the vascular diameter of vertebral arteries before and after neuromuscular joint facilitation interventions via the cervical spine approach in healthy adults. [Participants and Methods] We included 16 healthy adults (9 males and 7 females). The interventions were performed successively, separated by a one-week interval. The order of interventions was randomized. The blood-flow velocity and diameter of the vertebral artery were measured before and after the intervention. The neuromuscular joint facilitation group underwent neuromuscular joint facilitation neck flexion pattern and extension pattern training on the right side of the cervical spine, while the control group was asked to rest for 5 min. [Results] The neuromuscular joint facilitation group showed a significant increase in systolic blood flow velocity and mean blood flow velocity of the right vertebral artery after the intervention. In contrast, the control group showed no significant differences for any of the measured parameters after the intervention. [Conclusion] Neuromuscular joint facilitation intervention via the cervical spine approach may be recommended to improve vertebral artery function.
[目的] 本研究旨在调查健康成年人通过颈椎途径进行神经肌肉关节促进干预前后椎动脉血流速度和血管直径的变化。[参与者与方法] 我们纳入了16名健康成年人（9名男性和7名女性）。干预措施相继进行，间隔一周。干预顺序随机。在干预前后测量椎动脉的血流速度和直径。神经肌肉关节促进组在颈椎右侧进行神经肌肉关节促进颈部屈曲模式和伸展模式训练，而对照组被要求休息5分钟。[结果] 干预后，神经肌肉关节促进组右侧椎动脉的收缩期血流速度和平均血流速度显著增加。相比之下，对照组在干预后任何测量参数均无显著差异。[结论] 可推荐通过颈椎途径进行神经肌肉关节促进干预以改善椎动脉功能。
