ObjectiveEvaluate objectively the clincical efficacy of treating apoplexy hemiplegia with mainly acupuncture Du Meridian by RCT. The therapy treatment group in comparison with scalp acupuncture control group at the quality of clinical efficacy. Explore the mechanism and the promotional value.MethodsAccording to the diagnostic criteria and inclusion criteria,103 stroke patients with apoplexy hemiplegia were selected and were randomly divided into treatment group 53 cases and control group 50 cases.. For both groups, the same points and the same method of operation were chosen in the acupuncture part. The treatment frequency of the acupuncture part of treatment group was five times a week, one time each day, after a rest for two days, the treatment continued and the totol treatment duration was four weeks. Efficiacy evaluation was conducted after four weeks'treatment, the standard for scoring the degree of neurological deficit of stroke of stroke patientd.ResultsThe overall effects of treatment group is 92.5%, and the control group is 88.0%, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). for patients in each group, comparing their clinical neurological deficits before and after the treatment, by paired test, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with each other,by indepentment sample test, the difference was statistically signigicant(P<0.05); indicating the treatment group had better effect than the control group.ConclusionsBoth of the treatment group and control group have remarkable effect in treating apoplexy hemiplegia patients. Both methods can improve symptoms of the degree of neurological deficits. After treatment,the overall efficacy of the treatment group was better than the control group and the treatment group had a more obvious improvement in neurological deficits. Comparing the two groups with each other, the difference was statistically significant. |
