Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of micro-invasive point-through-point thread-embedding in treating acute stage of post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome. Method Sixty patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. Patients in the treatment group were intervened by micro-invasive point-through-point thread-embedding in addition to rehabilitation training, while patients in the control group were by rehabilitation training alone. Before treatment and after 4-week treatments, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to estimate shoulder pain, modified Barthel Index (MBI) to detect the activities of daily life, and Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale to measure the motor function of upper limb. Result Before treatment, there were no significant differences in comparing the involved indexes between the two groups (P>0.05), and the indexes were significantly improved after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Micro-invasive point-through-point thread-embedding can reduce pain intensity, improve the activities of daily life and motor function of upper limb of patients in acute stage of post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome.
