Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus hyperbaric oxygen in treating depression after cerebral stroke.Method A total of 120 patients with depression after cerebral stroke were randomized into a treatment group of 60 cases and a control group of 60 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus hyperbaric oxygen, while the control group was intervened by Fluoxetine. Before the treatment, and respectively after 14-d and 28-d treatments, the patients were evaluated by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and the therapeutic efficacies were compared between the two groups. Result The treatment group was significantly superior to the control group in comparing therapeutic efficacy (P<0.01). After 1 course of treatment, the HAMD and NIHSS scores dropped significantly in the treatment group (P<0.01); the scores in the control group showed a declining tendency but without statistical significances (P>0.05). After 2 treatment courses, the HAMD and NIHSS scores were significantly different from those before the treatment in both groups (P<0.01), and the differences were more significant in the treatment group (P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture plus hyperbaric oxygen is effective in treating depression after cerebral stroke, and it can obviously improve the neural function.
