ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacies of several commonly-used penetrating needling methods in treating post-stroke strephenopodia. Method Eighty-three patients with post-stroke strephenopodia were randomized into four groups, a control group intervened by conventional needling method (n=20), and the rest three groups were additionally intervened by different penetrating needling methods: penetrating group 1 [Qiuxu (GB40) towards Zhaohai (KI6), n=21], penetrating group 2 [Taibai (SP3) towards Shugu (BL65), n=21], and penetrating group 3 [Jiaoxin (KI8) towards Fuyang (BL59), n=21], to compare their effects on the function of ankle and lower extremity. Result The penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method all can significantly improve the function of ankle in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia (P 0.05). The penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method all can significantly improve the motor function of lower extremity in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia (P0.05). Conclusion Needling from Qiuxu towards Zhaohai and from Taibai towards Shugu can produce significant effects in improving ankle function and the motor function of lower extremity in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia, while needling from Jiaoxin to Fuyang doesn’t have notable advantage compared to the other penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method.
