Clinical Observation on SUN's Mind-regulating Acupuncture Method Combined with Cognitive Training for Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment in 34 Cases
To observe the clinical efficacy of SUN's mind-regulating acupuncture method combined with cognitive training in the treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and the possible mechanism.
Methods
2
A total of 74 patients with PSCI were randomly divided into control group (37 cases) and observation group (37 cases). Both groups were given routine treatment for stroke including management of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipid, antiplatelet aggregation, regular acupuncture, rehabilitation and cognitive training. The observation group was additionally given SUN's mind-regulating acupuncture at
Baihui
(GV 20), emotional area (frontal area), and the first abdominal area of SUN's abdominal acupuncture therapy. All patients were treated once a day, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, the mini-mental state examination scale (MMSE), Alzheimer's disease assessment scale cognition part (ADAS-Cog), clock drawing test (CDT), trail making test (TMT) including time taken to complete part A (TMT-A) and part B (TMT-B), and the time completion difference that equals to (TMT-B) minus (TMT-A), Modified Bathel Index (MBI), and serological indexes including serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) of both groups were observed.
Results
2
Finally, 34 cases in the observation group and 36 cases in the control group were analyzed. After treatment, the MMSE score, CDT score and BMI score of both groups were improved, while the ADAS-Cog score, TMT-A and TMT-B completion time, the levels of serum CRP and Hcy in both groups significantly decreased (
P
<0.01), with more changes found in the observation group than in the control group (
P
<0.01). After treatment, the time completion difference of TMT-A and TMT-B in the observation group significantly decreased (
P
<0.05), while that in the control group was not statistically different (
P
>0.05).
Conclusion
2
Superior to cognitive training alone, SUN's mind-regulating acupuncture combined with cognitive training can significantly improve the cognitive function and self-care ability of patients with PSCI, possibly by regulating serum CRP and Hcy levels.
