Clinical research of acute stroke treatment using acupuncture

摘要

目的

研究针刺治疗急性期中风的临床疗效。

方法

150 例中风急性期患者随机分为两组: 药物组、 针刺组, 药物组采用神经内科常规药物治疗, 脑复康250 mL, 丹参注射液20 mL加入生理盐水250 mL中, 静脉点滴, 每日一次。 针刺组除应用药物外, 加“平肝潜阳法”针刺治疗。 采用改良爱丁堡由斯堪的那维亚卒中量表(Scandinavian Stroke Scale, SSS)、 日常生活活动量表(ADL)(Barthel 指数)、 血脂和血液流变学进行治疗前后对照观察。

结果

量表结果显示针刺组与药物组相比有显著性差异, 生化指标无特异性差异, 血液流变学指标部分改善。

结论

该量表能够较好的同步反映中风患者的临床症状及其变化, 针刺疗法对急性期中风具有显著疗效。

Abstract

Objective

To study the clinical effects of acupuncture therapy for acute stroke.

Methods

150 patients suffered from acute stroke were randomly divided into two groups: drug group, acupuncture group. To apply routine drug treatment of Neurology for drug group: pisacetam 250mL, Salvia injection 20mL added into normal sodium 250mL for intravenous drip, once a day. For acupuncture group applied “calm the liver and suppress yang” acupuncture therapy beside drugs. Modified Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) and activities of daily living (ADL) scale (Barthel Index) were used for evaluation, as well as biochemistryhemorheology determination.

Results

The scale showed significant difference as compared with the drug group, biochemistry index had non-significant difference, and hemorheological index had partly improved.

Conclusion

The scale could synchronously reflect the clinical symptom and changes of patient with stroke. Acupuncture therapy has a significant improvement of acute stroke treatment.
