| Objective: To observe the clinical effect of "13 Ghost points acupuncture combined with XNKQ acupuncture" in the treatment of phlegm-turbid vascular dementia,to evaluate the acupuncture objectively,and to analyze and explore the phlegm-turbid vascular dementia.The pathogenesis of the disease and the action mechanism of the "13 Ghost points acupuncture combined with XNKQ acupuncture" provide a scientific basis for the future application of this acupuncture method in the treatment of phlegm and turbidity.Methods: 60 patients with sputum turbid vascular dementia who met the standard of sodium discharge were divided into treatment group and control group(30 cases in each group).The treatment group was treated with "thirteen ghost points combined with the method of awakening the brain and opening the orifice",while the control group was treated with the method of conventional acupuncture.Acupuncture was performed 6 times a week in both groups,with 30 minutes remaining each time.The treatment lasted for 6 weeks and lasted for 3 weeks.After the treatment,the patients were evaluated from three aspects.Cognitive function,daily living ability and TCM symptoms.The cognitive function was evaluated by two scales: the simple mental state scale(MMSE)and the clock drawing test(quartile).The daily living ability of the patients was evaluated according to the score of the daily living ability scale(ADL scale)before and after treatment.The TCM syndrome differentiation scale(SDSVD)was used to evaluate the changes of TCM symptoms in patients with phlegm-turbid vascular dementia before and after treatment.Results:1.The difference in total effective rate between the two groups after treatment was statistically significant(P<0.05),that indicates the treatment effect of 13 Ghost points points combined with XNKQ acupuncture is better than that of the control group.2.The difference between the simple mental state scale(MMSE scale)and the clock drawing test(CDT)score before and after treatment in the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference between the experimental group and the control group was statistically significant,(P<0.05).This shows that both treatments can improve the cognitive ability and intelligence of patients with phlegm,turbidity,and vascular dementia,and the 13 Ghost points Point combined with XNKQ acupuncture group is better than the control group in improving cognitive ability and intelligence.3.There was a statistically significant difference in the daily life ability scale(ADL scale)between the two groups after treatment(P <0.05).The difference between the two groups after treatment was also statistically significant(P <0.05).The results show that both the experimental group and the control group can improve the daily living ability of patients with phlegm and turbid vascular dementia.The XNKQ acupuncture group was better than the control group in improving daily living ability.4.There was no statistical difference between the experimental group and the control group before and after the first and second courses of treatment P> 0.05,indicating that the experimental group and the control group had comparable effects in improving the symptoms of phlegm turbidity and vascular dementia.No statistical difference was seen.The comparison of each course of treatment in the experimental group and the control group was P <0.05,indicating that both groups can effectively improve the TCM syndromes of phlegm and turbidity.Conclusions:1.13 Ghost points acupuncture combined with XNKQ acupuncture group and conventional acupuncture group can effectively improve the cognitive ability,daily life ability and TCM syndromes of patients with phlegm,turbidity and phlegm.2.13 Ghost points acupuncture combined with XNKQ acupuncture is better than conventional acupuncture therapy.3.13 Ghost points acupuncture combined with XNKQ acupuncture is more effective in the treatment of phlegm,turbidity and blunt vascular dementia. |
