Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether patients with post-stroke hemiplegia could benefit from long-term treatment with scalp cluster (SC) acupuncture combined with electrical stimulation (ES) and to evaluate the feasibility of this treatment to improve motor and living abilities.

METHODS

Twenty patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: SC acupuncture and SC acupuncture with ES (SC and SC + ES, respectively). All participants also received rehabilitation training. All participants were blindly evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale for motor ability, the modified Barthel Index for living ability, and a scale for the degree of neurological deficits. Outcome was assessed at three points before randomized grouping, at the beginning or treatment, and after 4 weeks of treatment.

RESULTS

Following 4 weeks treatment, all the patients exhibited significant improvements in aspects of motor ability, living ability, and the severity of neurological deficits. The experimental group (SC + ES) scored higher on the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (68 ± 12) and the modified Barthel Index (49 ± 9) than the control (SC) group (50 ± 13, 36 ± 13, respectively).

CONCLUSION

When patients with post-stroke hemiplegia are treated using SC acupuncture with ES, motor and living ability can improve more than if they were treated with SC acupuncture alone.

电刺激头簇针刺可改善脑卒中后偏瘫恢复期患者的运动能力和生活能力
目的探讨脑卒中后偏瘫患者长期采用头皮束针联合电刺激(ES)治疗是否有益,并评价该治疗方法改善运动和生活能力的可行性。方法将20例患者分为SC针刺组和SC针刺联合ES组(分别为SC组和SC + ES组)。所有参与者还接受了康复训练。所有参与者均采用Fugl-Meyer运动能力评估量表、改良Barthel生活能力指数和神经功能缺陷程度量表进行盲测。在随机分组前、治疗开始时和治疗4周后三个时点评估结果。结果治疗4周后,所有患者的运动能力、生活能力和神经功能缺损程度均有明显改善。实验组(SC + ES)在Fugl-Meyer量表(68±12)和改良Barthel指数(49±9)上的得分分别高于对照组(50±13、36±13)。结论SC针刺联合ES治疗脑卒中后偏瘫患者的运动能力和生活能力比单纯SC针刺治疗有更大的改善。
