Effect of acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on neurological function of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on neurological function and daily living ability of patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Methods From January 2014 to June 2017,one hundred and twenty-three patients with cerebral hemorrhage which hospitalized in the Department of Neurosurgery of Hebei Provincial Corps Hospital were selected and randomly divided into three groups acupuncture group, acupuncture + hyperbaric oxygen group ( combined group ) and control group. The acupuncture group was given acupuncture on the basis of routine medical treatment after minimally invasive surgery treatment; the combined group was treated with acupuncture treatment as well as hyperbaric oxygen therapy after minimally invasive surgery; the control group was only treated with conventional medical therapy without any special treatment. The scores of nerve function defect,Fusl-Meyer motor function assessment scale,daily living ability score,cognitive function score,Glasgow coma scale at the 40th day of admission were evaluated and compared respectively,and the clinical effect were evaluated as well. Results After treatment, the NHISS score of the control group,the acupuncture group and the combined group decreased in turn. The score of Fusl-Meyer exercise function rating scale, the daily living ability score, the cognitive function score and the Glasgow coma scale were increased in turn, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=276. 620, 76. 050,31. 770,116. 598,33. 745,P<0. 01) . The total effective rate of the control group,acupuncture group and combined group increased sequentially (61％,76％,90％),and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=18. 547,P<0. 01) . Conclusion Acupuncture therapy for patients with cerebral hemorrhage can effectively promote the improvement of nerve function, daily living ability and prognosis. Acupuncture combined with hyperbaric oxygen can get more obvious therapeutic effect.
