Methods: A total of 94 migraine cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a medication group, 48 cases in each group. Electroacupuncture and local tuina were used for cases in the observation group, whereas oral Flunarizine Hydrochloride capsules were used for cases in the medication group. Then the frequency of attacks, severity of the pain, duration of the headache, and associated symptoms of headache before and after treatment in the two groups were observed and compared. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was 93.8%, versus 63.0% in the medication group, showing a statistical significant difference(P < 0.05). There were statistical significant differences in frequency of attacks, severity of the pain, duration of the headache and associated symptoms between the two groups(P<0.05). In addition, there were statistical significant differences in relapse rates after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment(P<0.05). Conclusion: Combining electroacupuncture and local tuina can obtain better effect and lower relapse rate than oral Flunarizine Hydrochloride capsules in migraine patients.展开更多

Methods: A total of 150 patients with post-stroke upper limb spasticity were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=75) and a control group (n=75) by the random number table. Patients in the treatment group received tuina on exterior-interiorly connected meridians, whereas patients in the control group received standard rehabilitation therapy. The therapeutic efficacies in both groups were observed after 3 weeks of treatment. Results: The total effective rate in the treatment group was 89.3%, versus 61.3% in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (P〈0.05). After the treatment, the muscle tones by the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were significantly improved in both groups (both P〈0.05); and the improvement of muscle tone was more significant in the treatment group than that in the control group (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Applying tuina to exterior-interiorly connected meridians can obtain an exact efficacy for post-stroke upper limb spasticity.展开更多

Methods: A total of 93 stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. Forty-four patients in the observation group were treated with traditional tuina plus modern rehabilitation, and 49 patients in the control group were treated with modern rehabilitation. The modified Ashworth scale (MAS), the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA) and the modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to evaluate the knee extensors state, lower limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) of the two groups. Results: After treatment, the overall efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the MAS scores of both groups were significantly lower, FMA and MBI scores were significantly higher, and the differences were statistically significant in each group (P<0.01). After treatment, the MAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the differenee between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). The MBI score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the differenee between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the post-treatment changes in MAS, FMA and MBI scores between the two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Traditional tuina plus modern rehabilitation therapy can effectively alleviate or prevent lower limb extensor spasticity after stroke, and improve limb mobility and ADL. Hence, it is worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多
