Methods： Seventy eligible patients with post-stroke constipation were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. Both groups were intervened by conventional treatment and care in Western medicine, while the treatment group was also by Tui-pushing the Large Intestine Meridian and point sticking at Tianshu（ST 25）. The treatment lasted for 14 d. Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by the first defecation time, constipation incidence and Chinese stroke scale（CSS） score. Results： After treatment, the first defecation time was（1.86 ± 0.74） d in the treatment group, shorter than（2.77 ± 0.83） d in the control group; constipation incidence was 14.3% in the treatment group, significantly lower than 37.1% in the control group, and the between-group differences in the two items were statistically significant（both P〈0.05）. CSS score in both groups dropped significantly after treatment（both P〈0.05）; the improvement in the treatment group was better than that in the control group, and the inter-group difference was statistically significant（P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Tui-pushing the Large Intestine Meridian plus point sticking at Tianshu（ST 25） can effectively prevent post-stroke constipation, and can also promote the rehabilitation of nerve functions.展开更多

The three points of the Heart Meridian are "Shenmen" (HT 7), "Lingdao" (HT 4) and one point between HT 7 and HT 4, the 3 points of the Lung Meridian are "Taiyuan"(LU 9), Lieque (LU 7) and one point between LU 9 and LU 7. These points are punctured with filiform needles and stimulated electrically by setting the parameters being frequency of 2.5 Hz, dense sparse waves and duration of 10 min. Results display that the regulative effect of EA of the Heart Meridian is superior to that of EA of the Lung Meridian on the three indexes, showing a closer correlation between the whole Heart Meridian and activities of ECG, SIG and EEG.展开更多
