Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture plus hyperbaric oxygen in treating post-stroke depression. Method Sixty patients with post-stroke depression were randomized into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus hyperbaric oxygen, while the control group was by Fluoxetine. Before and after intervention, the Hamilton Depression scale (HAMD) was adopted for evaluation, and the efficacies were compared. Result The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.01);after intervention, the HAMD score of the treatment group was markedly lower than that of the control (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture plus hyperbaric oxygen can obviously improve the depression symptom and promote the recovery of neurologic function in patients with post-stroke depression.
