ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Chinese Traditional Medical therapy of supplementing Qi, nourishing Yin and strengthening genuine Qi on hemiplegia after stroke.Methods102 cases of hemiplegic patients were divided into 2 groups randomly, observational group (52 cases) and control group (50 cases), who were all treated with routine medicine and early rehabilitation. Observational group accepted Shenqi Fuzheng Injection or Shengmai Injection according to their syndrome for 28 days. Before and after treatment (within 3 days), simple Fug-Meyer Assessment Scale, modified Barthel index and gait analysis were used to evaluate the function of motor, activity of daily living (ADL) and walking.ResultsBoth groups improved their function of upper and lower limb's movement, ADL and walking significantly (P<0.001) after treatment. Compared with the control group, except for motor of upper limps, the patients in observational group improved their function more significantly (P<0.05).ConclusionChinese Traditional Medical therapy of supplementing Qi, nourishing Yin and strengthening genuine Qi may help the recovery of hemiplegia after stroke.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo study the effect of early electroacupuncture(EA) associated with motor relearning program therapy during the recovery stage for the limb function in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods128 patients with cerebral infarction at the recovery stage were divided into two groups: electroacupuncture group (57 cases) and control group(71 cases).Patients in the two groups were given clinical treatment and regularly motor relearning program therapy.The patients in electroacupuncture group were given electroacupuncture additionally for 10～14 d at the acute stage. The evaluation was done pre- and post-treatment respectively with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA).ResultsThe motor scores in each group improved after treatment(P<0.01). The scores in the electroacupuncture group were obviously higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). ConclusionEarly electroacupuncture associated with motor relearning program therapy during the recovery stage can significantly promote the limb function in patients with cerebral infarction.
