电针腰夹脊穴配头皮针治疗血管性痴呆步态障碍疗效观察(英文)

Objective To observe the efficacy of treating vascular dementia gait disorder with electroacupuncture （EA） on Jiaji （夹脊EX-B2） along the lumbar vertebra combined with scalp acupuncture, in order to explore a more effective therapeutic method. Methods Forty-two patients were divided into an acupuncture group and a drug group according to the method of random number table, with 21 cases in each group. EA on EX-B2 from L2 to L5 （bilateral） and scalp acupuncture on Baihui （百会 CV 20） and Sishencong （四神聪EX-HN 1） were applied in the acupuncture group, once a day the course of treatment was 30 days; Duxil was taken orally by the drug group, one pill twice a day for 30 days as a course of treatment. After treatment was completed, the efficacy was evaluated and activities of daily living （ADL） were compared between the two groups. Results The total effectiveness rate for the acupuncture group was 90.5%, which was significantly better than that of the drug group （61.9%）, and the differences were statistically significant （P〈0.05）; ADL was compared before and after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant （the acupuncture group： 24.52±9.34 vs 32.85±13.56; the drug group： 25.47±10.04 vs 29.99±13.87, both P〈0.01）; after treatment, ADL, including gait disorders, in the acupuncture group was more significantly improved than that of the drug group, and the differences were statistically significant （32.85±13.56 vs 29.99± 13.87, P〈0.01）. Conclusion The efficacy of treating vascular dementia gait disorder with electro-acupuncture （EA） on EX-B2 along lumbar vertebra combined with scalp acupuncture was superior to orally administered Duxil.

目的:观察电针腰夹脊穴配头皮针治疗血管性痴呆步态障碍的疗效,探寻较佳的治疗方法。方法:采用随机数字表法将42例患者分为针刺组和药物组,每组21人。针刺组采用电针第2至5腰椎夹脊穴(双侧)和头皮针百会、四神聪,每日1次,30次为一疗程;药物组口服都可喜(法国施维雅药厂生产每片含二甲磺酸阿米三嗪30 mg、萝巴新10 mg),每次1片,每日2次,30日为一疗程。两组均治疗一疗程后,进行疗效评价和日常生活能力(ADL)比较。结果:针刺组总有效率为90.5%,明显优于药物组的61.9%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);两组内治疗前后ADL比较,差异均有统计学意义(针刺组:24.52±9.34 vs 32.85±13.56;药物组:25.47±10.04 vs 29.99±13.87,均P<0.01);治疗后两组间比较,针刺组在改善患者日常生活能力包括步态障碍方面明显优于药物组,差异有统计学意义(32.85±13.56 vs29.99±13.87,P<0.01)。结论:电针腰夹脊穴配头皮针治疗血管性痴呆步态障碍的疗效优于口服药物都可喜。
