Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at cranial sutures (cranial acupuncture) plus rehabilitation training in treating cerebral infarction.MethodSixty patients with cerebral infarction were randomized into an acupuncture-rehabilitation group (cranial acupuncture plus rehabilitation training) and a rehabilitation group (dryrehabilitation training), 30 cases in each group, to respectively receive cranial acupuncture plus rehabilitation training and dry rehabilitation training. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Barthel Index (BI) were adopted to respectively evaluate the motor function of limbs and activities of daily living (ADL); the content of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was also observed before and after treatment for the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy.ResultThe acupuncture-rehabilitation group wassuperior to the rehabilitation group in improving the motor function and ADL, and down-regulating the hs-CRP content (P<0.05).ConclusionCranial acupuncture plus rehabilitation training is the optimal protocol in treating cerebral infarction, and it canproduce a more significant efficacy than dry rehabilitation training.
