Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Jin’s Three Needles plus twelve Jing-Well points in treating post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome. Methods Sixty patients meeting the inclusion criteria of post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture with Jin’s Three Needles plus twelve Jing-Well points and the control group, conventional acupuncture. The Clinical Neurological Disfunction Scale (CNDS) score, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) score, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and the Functiional Comprehensive Assessment (FCA) score were observed in the two groups before and after two weeks of treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups. Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the CNDS, FMA, VAS and FCA scores in the two groups (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate and the cure and marked efficacy rate were 96.7%and 55.7%in the combination group, respectively, in the treatment group and 83.3%and 26.7%, respectively, in the control group;there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05).
