Sensory changes, C-and A-fiber function, and shoulder-hand syndrome in hemiplegic patients after stroke

BACKGROUND： Clinical diagnosis of various neurological disorders involving the sensory nerves depends primarily on subjective description, which cannot be quantitatively evaluated, and is also less reproducible and specific. Quantitative sensory testing methods can overcome these shortcomings and is currently used to identify the function of the C- and A-fibers. OBJECTIVE： To apply the quantitative sensory testing method for analyzing changes in temperature sensation, cryalgesia, thermalgesia, and vibration sense on the skin surface of hemiplegic patients with post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome, and to analyze the relationship between these changes and shoulder-hand syndrome. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A non-randomized, concurrent, control study was performed at the Clinic and Inpatient Department of the Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, between June 2000 and April 2001. PARTICIPANTS： Thirty post-stroke, hemiplegic patients were divided into shoulder-hand syndrome and control groups, according to whether patients exhibited shoulder-hand syndrome, with 15 patients in each group. METHODS： A TSA2001 quantitative sensory testing device （Medoc, Israel） was used for quantitative sensory testing. All sensory testing employed limits, testing temperature sense on the palm thenar eminence and vibration sense on the thumb metacarpal. Cold threshold was ≤ 28 ℃, warmth threshold was ≥ 36 ℃, cold-evoked pain threshold was ≤ 5 ℃, heat-evoked pain threshold was ≥ 51 ℃, vibration threshold was ≥ 5 μm/s; if a patient met one of these items, he/she was considered to be hypoanesthesia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Cold, warm, cold-evoked pain, heat-evoked pain and vibration threshold changes on skin from the paralyzed upper extremity was measured in the shoulder-hand syndrome and control groups. RESULTS： Incidence of sensory disability in the shoulder-hand syndrome group increased more significantly than in the control group （P 〈 0.05）, with the primary manifestations being decreased cold threshold （P 〈 0.05） and increased warmth threshold （P 〈 0.05）. The value differences between cold and cold-evoked pain thresholds, as well as between warmth and heat-evoked pain thresholds, decreased significantly in the shoulder-hand syndrome group （P 〈 0.05）. There were no significant differences between the two groups in cold-evoked pain, heat-evoked pain, or vibration thresholds. CONCLUSION： The primary manifestations of sensory impairment in hemiplegic patients with post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome were displayed as thermohypesthesia and hyperalgesia. Functional impairments of nerve fibers that control pain and temperature sense may play an important role in the pathogenesis of post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome.

Research progress on the effect of the combination of Jing acupoints bloodletting therapy and Sangzhi (Mori Ramulus) on shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke

Shoulder-hand syndrome(SHS)is one of the common complications of ischemic stroke.The pathogenesis is not completely clear and the therapeutic effects are not very satisfactory.As one of the Five-Shu acupoints(the general terms of acupoints that the twelve meridians are located below the elbow and knee of the body),Jing acupoints is distributed at the end of fingers and toes where the twelve meridians of the human body pass by,and has the functions of stimulating the meridians and dredging the channels and collaterals.For the effects of discharging neurons,promoting cerebral blood flow and improving the brain micro-circulation,Jing acupoints bloodletting therapy can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms of the patients with SHS after stroke.Sangzhi(Mori Ramulus),with the ability of dredging the meridian and relieving the pain,is also has certain treatment functions to the SHS.In clinical practice,the combination of Jing acupoints bloodletting and Sangzhi(Mori Ramulus)have been widely used in the treatment of various diseases,and in terms of their mechanism of action,the combined treatment has a positive effect on post-stroke SHS,but there are few reports on this.Therefore,it is worth affirming the efficacy of combined treatment of SHS after stroke.This article elaborates the theoretical basis of Jing acupoints bloodletting on SHS after stroke,and the research progress of Sangzhi(Mori Ramulus)in treating SHS after stroke,which provide the theoretical guidance for the combination.

Delphi and Analytic hierarchy process for the construction of a risk assessment index system for post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome

Background:Shoulder-hand syndrome(SHS)is one of the common complications after stroke,which is difficult to cure once it occurs.Early risk identification is an effective measure to prevent and treat SHS,but there is no effective tool to assess the risk assessment of SHS.Objective:To develop a validated tool to assess the risk of SHS occurrence after stroke.Methods:This was an observational study with a 3-step process:(1)Literature review to establish initial indicators;(2)Application of a modified Delphi method for two rounds of correspondence,with final indicators obtained by modifying each round based on expert opinion;(3)Application of hierarchical analysis to determine the weights of each indicator.Results:The initial literature review constructed4 primary indicators and 24 secondary indicators;after the first round of Delphi,a total of 10 secondary indicators were deleted and 6 secondary indicators were added,and the final indicators included 3 primary indicators and 15 secondary indicators,and in the second round,consensus was reached;by AHP analysis,the highest weight was given to existing risk factors(0.5584),followed by relevant medical history(0.3196);lastly,demographic factors(0.1220),and the scores of other secondary indicators met the requirements.Conclusion:This study establishes and constructs a post-stroke SHS risk assessment tool,which provides a basis for early identification of SHS and early intervention.Meanwhile,this study provides a methodological reference for the development of other indicatorssets.

Clinical Research of Traditional Chinese Medicine Fumigation and Washing Combined with Rehabilitation Training in the Treatment of Post-Apoplexy Shoulder-Hand Syndrome

Timeliness of the analgesic effect of superficial needling on shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke

Objective To observe the correlation between analgesic effect and duration of analgesic effect of superficial needling for shoulder pain of shoulderhand syndrome（SHS） after stroke, so as to screen the best time period of analgesia. Methods A total of 120 patients with SHS after stroke（stage I） were recruited and superficial needling therapy was applied. Two obvious tenderness points on the affected shoulder of patients were found out. The site 80–100 mm down each tenderness point was selected for superficial needling. Bimanual needling technique was applied after inserting needles. The surrounding of tenderness points was pinched and grasped by left hand above the needling, and the technique of green dragon swaying tail was applied by right hand. The needles at each acupoint were manipulated for3 min and retained for 30 min. The analgesic effect was evaluated dynamically by visual analogue scale（VAS） in 120 patients before treatment, immediately after treatment, 30 min after treatment, 1 h after treatment and 24 h after treatment. The analgesic effects at different time were statistically analyzed by generalized estimating equation. Results The mean values of VAS were 7.483, 3.950, 4.767, 5.917 and 7.217, respectively, before treatment, immediately after treatment, 30 min after treatment, 1 h after treatment and 24 h after treatment. The difference of analgesic effect at different time was statistically significant（P〈0.01）; the difference of analgesic effect of superficial needling in treatment of SHS after stroke was significant between immediately after treatment and 30 min after treatment（both P〈0.05）, while there was no significant difference between 1 h after treatment and 24 h after treatment（both P〈0.05）. Conclusion Analgesic effect of superficial needling for shoulder pain of SHS after stroke was different at different time points and decreased over time; analgesic effect was the most significant immediately after treatment and the optimal duration of analgesic effect was from immediately to 30 min after superficial needling therapy.

Objective To observe influence of kinetic needling on functional restoration of upper limbs of patients with apoplexy-induced shoulder-hand syndrome. Methods Ninety patients were randomly divided into an observation group （45 cases） and a control group （45 cases）. Basic treatments selected according to corresponding stroke units were applied to both groups. Besides, scalp acupuncture at Dingnie Qianxiexian （MS 6, 顶颞前斜线）, Dingnie Houxiexian （MS 6, 顶颞前斜线） and Dingzhongxian （NS 5, 顶中线）, was applied in the treatment group. In the observation group, active and passive movement was carried out during the process of scalp acupuncture, and then needling plus bloodletting puncturing and cupping was applied. In the control group, only needling plus blood-letting puncturing and cupping was given. Therapeutic effects, pain scoring obtained by visual analogue scales （VAS）, FugI-Meyer and FugI-Meyer＇s scoring reflecting moving functions of upper limbs were made after 4 courses of treatments in both groups. Results The total effective rate was 95.5% and 91.1% in the observation group and control group, respectively, showing superiority of the former to the latter （P〈0.05）. After treatment, VAS scores were all obviously reduced in both groups （P〈0.01）, and the reduction in the former was significantly more than that in the latter （P〈0.01）. Moving functions of upper limbs shown by Fugl-Meyer＇s scoring were improved after 2 courses of treatment in both groups （P〈0.01）. The improvement was more obvious after 4 courses of treatment than that after 2 courses of treatment in both groups （P〈0.05）. After 4 courses of treatment, moving functions shown by FugI-Meyer＇s scoring were more remarkably improved in the observation group than those in the control group（t=3.9, P〈0.01）. Conclusion Both kinetic needling combined with needling plus blood-letting puncturing and cupping and simple needling plus blood-letting puncturing and cupping are effective in treating shoulder-hand syndrome after apoplexy, and the former is better than the latter.
