Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of different combinations of acupuncture and robot training on balance function in patients with Parkinson's disease.Methods A total of 60 patients with Parkinson's disease admitted to Wenzhou Traditional Medicine Hospital from October 2020 to October 2022 were randomly divided into two groups.Group A was given robot training after receiving acupuncture of Baihui and Dazhui points.Group B received those treatments simultaneously.And the balance function of patients was evaluated by Berg balance scale(BBS),Morse fall assessment scale(MFS)and timed up and go test(TUGT).Results In the intra-group comparison,TUGT in group A was significantly improved after 4 weeks of treatment(P<0.01);MFS and TUGT in group B were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).After 8 weeks of treatment,BBS and TUGT in group A were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.01);BBS,MFS and TUGT in group B were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).At the 12th week,BBS,MFS and TUGT in both groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).Comparison between groups:BBS,MFS and TUGT in group B were not significantly different from those in group A at 4 weeks of treatment(P>0.05);After 8 weeks of treatment,MFS in group B was significantly improved compared with that in group A(P<0.05),BBS and TUGT were better than that in group A without significant difference(P>0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment,BBS(P<0.01),MFS(P<0.01)and TUGT(P<0.05)in group B were significantly improved compared with group A.Conclusion Acupuncture at Baihui and Dazhui points combined with robot training simultaneously can improve the balance function and anti-falling ability of Parkinson's disease.
