Effect of Acupuncture on Disease Severity Score and Activity of Daily Living Scales in Patients with Partial Anterior Circulation Infarction
Objective To observe the rehabilitation effect of acupuncture for hemiplegic patients with partial anterior circulation infarction (PACI). Methods Totally 120 hemiplegic patients with PACI were randomized into the control group
acupuncture group
rehabilitation group and acupuncture + rehabilitation group
with 30 in each. The control group was intravenously injected with Danhong Injection and edaravone injection for 2 weeks
orally taken bayaspirin tablets for 6 months and received symptomatic treatment. The acupuncture
rehabilitation and combo therapy of acupuncture and rehabilitation was added in the acupuncture group
rehabilitation group and acupuncture + rehabilitation group respectively on the basis of control group. The acupuncture and rehabilitation lasted for 3 months. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel Index (BI) were used to evaluate the efficacy and activities of daily living before treatment and after 1-month
3-month and 6-month treatment. Results The scores of NIHSS and BI were significantly improved in three treatment groups at different time points after treatment (P<0.05) expect the NIHSS score in the control group after 1-month treatment (P>0.05). There were significant differences between the control group and other three groups after 1-month
3-month and 6-month treatment (P<0.05). The scores of NIHSS and BI in the acupuncture group were superior to those in the rehabilitation group after 1-month treatment (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of NIHSS and BI between the acupuncture group and rehabilitation group after 3-month and 6-month treatment (P>0.05). The scores of NIHSS and BI in the acupuncture + rehabilitation group were superior to those in the acupuncture group and rehabilitation group after 1-month
3-month and 6-month treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture can restore the nerve function and activities of daily living in hemiplegic patients with PACI
with a better effect as combined with rehabilitation.
