Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with Rood therapy for post-stroke upper limb functional disorder. Methods Ninety patients which met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into integrated group (acupuncture +Rood therapy), acupuncture group, and Rood therapy group, 30 in each group. The therapeutic effect of the three groups was evaluated after treatment for 6 courses, one course covering 7 days. Results (1) After treatment for 6 courses, the total effective rate of the integrated group, acupuncture group, and Rood therapy group was 93.33%, 76.67%, 63.33%, respectively. The results of Mann-Whitney test showed that the integrated group had better effect than acupuncture group and Rood therapy group, the difference being significant(P<0.05).(2) After treatment, muscle tension of the integrated group and acupuncture group was much improved as compared with that before treatment(P<0.01), but Rood therapy group showed no obvious changes in muscle tension before and after treatment(P>0.05). (3) After treatment, FMA scores and MBI scores were markedly increased in the three groups(P<0.001 compared with those before treatment). The integrated group had better effect on improving FMA scores and MBI scores than acupuncture group and Rood therapy group , and the resul ts of ANOVO test showed that t he differences were signficiant(P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with Rood therapy has certain clinical efficacy for post-stroke upper limb functional disorder, and the effect is better than acupuncture or Rood therapy alone.
