摘要
Objective： To observe the effect of combined acupuncture and Chinese herbal formula on the motor function and activities of daily living （ADL） of post-stroke patients and further evaluate the resultant clinical efficacy. Methods： A total of 80 acute stroke patients were randomly divided into a control group （40 cases） and an observation group （40 cases）. Conventional Western medicine management was employed in the control group, while additional acupuncture and Chinese herbal formula were employed in the observation group. After completing the sessions of treatment, changes of the motor function （using the US National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, NIHSS） and activities of daily living （using Barthel Index） were measured. Results： The total effective rate in the observation group was 87.5%, versus 62.5% in the control group, showing a statistical difference （P〈0.05）. After the treatment, the motor function and activities of daily living of patients in both groups were markedly improved （P〈0.05）, and those in the observation group presented with a better result （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Conventional Western medicine management coupled with acupuncture and Chinese herbal formula are beneficial to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with cerebral infarction.
目的:观察针药并用对中风患者运动功能及日常生活能力的影响,并评价其临床疗效。方法:将 80 例急性中风患者随机分为两组。对照组 40 例,采用西医常规治疗;观察组 40 例,在西医常规治疗基础上配合针刺、中药治疗。疗程结束后观察两组临床疗效,以及运动功能[美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(the U.S. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale,NIHSS)评分]与日常生活能力(Activities of Daily Living,ADL)(Barthel指数分级法评分)的变化。结果:观察组总有效率为 87.5%,对照组总有效率为 62.5%,两组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后两组患者运动功能及日常生活能力评分均有显著改善(P<0.05),且观察组优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:常规西医治疗配合针刺、中药更有助于脑梗死患者的治疗与康复。
