ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the efficacy and security of Chinese Medicine fumigation based on tension balance acupuncture on spasticity after ischemic stroke. Methods From June, 2014 to June, 2017, 258 patients with spasticity after ischemic stroke were assigned into control group (n=130) and observation group (n=128). All the patients received routine rehabilitation and tension bal-ance acupuncture, and the observation group received Chinese Medicine fumigation in addition, for six weeks. They were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), modified Barthel In-dex (MBI) and Neurological Deficit Scale (NDS) before, three weeks and six weeks after treatment. The inci-dence of side-effect was recorded. Results There was no significant difference in scores of FMA, MBI and NDS between two groups three weeks after treatment (P>0.05). Six weeks after treatment, the scores of FMA, MBI and NDS improved in both groups (t>7.382, P<0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t>4.412, P<0.05), while the clinical efficacy on spasm was also better (χ2=11.121, P=0.001). The side-effect was slight in both groups. Conclusion Combination with Chinese Medicine fumigation can ameliorate the spasticity of upper limb in ischemic stroke patients, to promote the recovery of motor function and activities of daily living.
