Clinical Research On Herbal Patch Combined With Acupuncture Treating Phlegm-heat Fu Real Stroke

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical curative effect and the safety of treating Phlegm-heat Fu real stroke by herbal patch combined with acupuncture treatment, and discuss its mechanism initially so as to explore a therapeutic method which has definite effect and is easy to be operated.MethodsAccording to the Diagnostic Inclusion and Exclusion criteria,60patients of Phlegm-heat Fu real stroke were selected by randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with30cases in each group. The treatment group were treated by herbal patch combined with acupuncture treatment, while the control group were treated by the therapy of routine acupuncture. With the same acupoints, the patients of the two groups were treated once a day for20days. The same regular basic drug therapy were given to the both groups. Neurological deficit, daily life ability of the two groups patients were assessed by using Neurological deficit rating scale score, Barthels ADL indexes before and after treatment。ResultsTested by chi-square test and t inspection(P<0.05), the baseline informations(Sex;Age;Course of disease) of the two groups patients before treatment are comparable. After the treating courses, in treatment group, there were3-case basically cured,16-case significantly improved,10-case in effect,l-case non-effective among the30cases, and the total effective rate was96.7%. In control group, there were1-case basically cured,5-case significantly improved,22-case in effect,2-case non-effective among the30cases, and the total effective rate was93.3%. There were significant difference between the two group(P<0.05) by Ridit test. Neurological deficit, daily life ability of both groups were improved after20days treatment, and has statistical significance compared to those before treatment. The clinic Neurological deficit of both group were dramatic improved and has statistical significance compared to that before treatment (P<0.05). The improvement of Neurological deficit rating scale of the treatment group were superior to the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The Barthel,s ADL indexes had significant improvement in both groups(P<0.01), and the difference between two group was not statistically significant (P>0.05). No patient in the two groups had obviously adverse reaction.ConclusionThe Neurological deficit rating scale of patients can be improved and the ability of daily life and motor function of patients can be improved by herbal patch combined with acupuncture treatment, all of that are better than traditional acupuncture, especially in improving Neurological deficit rating scale.
