Observations on the Therapeutic Effect of Warm Needling on Senile Dementia

目的观察温针灸治疗老年性痴呆的临床效果。方法将80例老年性痴呆患者随机分为治疗组和对照组,每组40例。治疗组采用温针灸法治疗,对照组采用口服脑复康片治疗。治疗3个月后比较两组痴呆评定表(CRD)评分,并判定疗效。结果两组治疗后CRD评分比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗组总有效率为95.0%,对照组为75.0%,两组比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论温针灸是一种治疗老年性痴呆的有效方法。

Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect of warm needling on senile dementia. Methods Eighty patients with senile dementia were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 40 cases each. The treatment group received warm needling and the control group, oral administration of piracetam tablets. After three months of treatment, the Clinical Dementia Rating（CRD） scores were compared between the two groups and the therapeutic effects were evaluated. Results There was a statistically significant posttreatment difference in the CDR score between the two groups（P〈0.05）. The total efficacy rate was 95.0% in the treatment group and 75.0% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups（P〈0.05）. Conclusion Warm needling is an effective way to treat senile dementia.
