董氏奇穴针刺对帕金森病患者步行平衡功能的影响

Effect of Tung's Acupuncture on Walk and Balance Function in Patients with Parkinson's Disease

目的观察针刺董氏奇穴对帕金森病患者步态及步行平衡能力的影响。方法将92例符合标准的帕金森病患者,随机分为对照组和治疗组,每组46例。对照组给予常规左旋多巴药物治疗,治疗组在此基础上加用针刺董氏奇穴治疗。两组均治疗20 d,两组在治疗前及治疗后,均采用Neuro Com灵巧动态姿态平衡仪中的步行测试(Walk Across,WLK)、步行转向测试(Step/Quick Turn,SNT)、计时"起立-行走"测试(timed up&go test,TUGT)评估患者的步态及步行平衡能力,并对测试结果进行两组间的比较。结果两组治疗后步速、步长,转向晃动角度,转向消耗时间,TUGT时间均较治疗前改善(P<0.05),但治疗组的改善程度明显优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论针刺董氏奇穴配合口服左旋多巴能明显改善帕金森病患者步态及步行平衡能力。

Objective To observe the effect of Tung＇s acupuncture on walk and balance function in patients with Parkinson＇s disease（PD）.Method Ninety-two eligible PD patients were randomized into a control group and a treatment group,46 cases in each group.The control group was intervened by Levodopa,while the treatment group was additionally intervened by Tung＇s acupuncture.The two groups were both treated for 20 d.Before and after the treatment,the walk and balance function were evaluated by the indices of Neuro Com Balance Master,including Walk Across（WLK）,Step/Quick Turn（SNT）,and Timed Up Go Test（TUGT）,and the results were compared between the two groups.Result The walk speed,step length,swing in turning,time-consumption in turning,and TUGT were improved after the intervention in both groups（P〈0.05）,and the improvements in the treatment group were more significant than that in the control group（P〈0.05）.Conclusion Tung＇s acupuncture plus oral administration of Levodopa can markedly improve the walk and balance function in patients with PD.
