电针治疗轻中型颅脑损伤记忆及认知功能障碍的临床研究

A clinical study of electroacupuncture on mild and moderate traumatic brain injury with memory and cognitive impairment

目的:观察电针对轻中型颅脑损伤患者记忆、认知功能障碍的治疗作用。方法:将40例轻中型颅脑损伤患者随机分为常规组和电针组,在治疗前后分别采用记忆商(MQ)和简明智力状态检查(MMSE)评估记忆和认知功能。结果:电针组和常规组治疗后,记忆、认知功能均有明显改善。电针组记忆功能改善较常规组显著(P<0.05)。两组MMSE评定结果无统计学差异。结论:电针可改善轻中型颅脑损伤患者的记忆功能。

Objective:To observe the treatment effect of electroacupuncture on mild and moderate traumatic brain injury with memory and cognitive impairment. Method: 40 patients with mild and moderate traumatic brain injury were divided randomly into traditional treatment group and electroacupuncture treatment group. The functions of memory and cognition were assessed with memory quotient(MQ) and mini mental status examination (MMSE) respectively before and after treatment. Result:The functions of memory and cognition in both groups were improved distinctly after treatment. The memory of electroacupuncture treatment group was improved more dramatically than that of traditional treatment group (t=3.216,P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in MMSE values between the two groups.Conclusion:Electroacupuncture can improve the memory function in patients with mild and moderate traumatic brain injury.
