Effect of Parallel Scalp Acupuncture Therapy on Hemodynamic Function of Cerebral Circulation in Post-stroke Patients

Objective： To evaluate the effect of parallel scalp acupuncture therapy on hemodynamic function of cerebral circulation in post-stroke patients. Methods： Twenty post-stroke patients were taken as our objects. The cerebral circulation indices before and after parallel acupuncture therapy, were detected with KF-3000 Brain Circulation Analyze, to compare the change of hemodynamics indexes before and after parallel scalp acupuncture. Results： After the therapy, minimum and mean blood velocity of carotid artery （Vmin and Vmean） increased significantly （P〈0.001）; peripheral resistance （Rc） decreased significantly （P〈0.001）. And the other indices had no significant differences. Conclusion： Parallel Scalp Acupuncture can improve the state of cerebrovascular autoregulation, raise the velocity of blood, decrease the peripheral resistance, and increase the steady energy, total energy and the ratio of kinetic energy to total energy, decrease the ratio of oscillatory kinetic energy to total kinetic energy.

目的:观察和评价头排针对脑卒中病人血流动力学指标的改善情况方法:选择脑卒中患者20例,在进行头排针针刺治疗前后分别用 KF-3000脑循环分析仪对患者于颈动脉处进行脑循环动力学检测,比较干预前后脑循环血液动力学指标的变化。结果:治疗后,颈动脉血液最小流速、平均流速均有上升(P<0.001),外周阻力下降(P<0.001),同时其他血流能量指标也均有不同程度的改善。结论:头排针治疗脑卒中病人,可使脑循环功能得到明显改善。
