Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact of the electroacupuncture treatment in Jiao's scalp acupuncture balance area on the walking ability of patients with stroke. Methods The stroke patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the control group (ordinary acupuncture group) and the treatment group (Jiao's scalp group). The two groups were scored before treatment, after 1 course of treatment and 2 courses of treatment, by using Fugl-Meyer lower limb score, Berg balance score and Holden walking grading. Results After 1 course of treatment, the Fugl-Meyer, Berg, and Holden walking grading of the two groups were higher than those before treatment (P<0.01). The Fugl-Meyer, Berg, and Holden walking grading of the treatment group were better than those of the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.01). The Fugl-Meyer, Berg, Holden walking grading of the two groups after treatment for 2 courses were significantly higher than those before treatment and after 1 course of treatment (P<0.01). There was no difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture treatment of Jiao's scalp balance area can effectively improve the balance of stroke patients, increase the ability of lower limbs to improve walking function, reduce the risk of falls.
