Effect of electroacupuncture and dihydroergotoxine on patients with vascular dementia / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo study the effect of the electroacupuncture on patients of vascular dementia (VD). Methods68 patients suffering from VD were randomly divided into two groups, the electroacupuncture group(34 cases) and the medicine group(dihydroergotoxine, DHET, 34 cases). Scores of HDS R(Hasegawa Dementia Scale ), FAQ(Functional Activity Questionaire), ADL(Activity of Daily Living)and Nervous Dysfunction were examined and compared before and after treatment. The course was 42 days. ResultsThe total effective rate was 79.41% in electroacupuncture group and 20.58% in DHET group(P<0.01). All the above mentioned indices were more significantly improved in electroacupuncture group than those in DHET group(P<0.01). ConclusionsIt suggests that the electroacupuncture may improve the VD patients in intelligence, ability of functional activity and quality of life, etc.

Effect of the electroacupuncture treatment of vascular dementia and its P300 / 中国康复理论与实践

@#Objective:To probe the effects of the electroacupuncture on vascular dementia and its P300.Methods:60 patients suffering from vascular dementia were randomly divided into two groups,the electroacupuncture group(30 cases) and the medicine group(dihydroergotoxine,DHET,30 cases).Changes in scoring value of HDS-R(Hasegawa Dementia Scale),FAQ(Functional Activity Questionaire),ADL,injure of nerve function,main symptoms and P300 were observed before and after treatment.The course was 42 days.Results:The results was that effective rate was 60% in electroacupuncture group and 23.33% in medicine group(P<0.01).All the above indices were improved in electroacupuncture group,better than those of medicine group(P<0.05～0.01).Conclusion:It suggests that the electroacupuncture therapy can promote the VD patients in intelligence,functional activity,ability of daily living and quality of life.

Analysis on Short - term Effect of Electric Acupuncture Treatment for Vascular Dementia / 中医杂志

Forty - six cases of VD were equally and randomly divided into 2 groups, the electric - acupuncture group (EA) and acupuncture group (A). Changes in scoring value of HDS, FAQ. CCSE; contents of SOD. LPO. GSH -Px. bloodlipids and NO and changes in EEG. TCD were observed before and after treatment. The effective rate, total ameliorated and effective rates were 52. 2%, 87. 0% respectively in the AE group; higher than those in the Agroup of 13. 0%. 47. 8% respectively (P 0. 05), indicating that EA treatment is superior to regular acupuncture treatment for VD and exerts marked convalescent actions on patients mental ability.
