Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of scalp acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture in the treatment of aphasia after ischemic stroke. Methods Totally 90 patients with aphasia after ischemic stroke were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received Schuell language training, 30 min each time, while the treatment group received scalp acupuncture plus electroacupuncture (Yifeng, Baihui, Houxi and Tongli), 20 min each time. The treatment for both group was 5 times a week and lasted for 16 weeks. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by aphasia degree, Chinese functional communication profile (CFCP) score and Western aphasia battery (WAB). Results There was statistical significance between the treatment group and the control group in the level of aphasia degree (P＜0.05). Compared with before treatment, the total scores of CFCP and WAB in both groups increased, with statistical significance (P＜0.05). The total scores of CFCP and WAB in treatment group were higher than control group, with statistical significance (P＜0.05). The total effective rate of the therapeutic effect was 91.11% (41/45) in the treatment group and 75.56% (34/45) in the control group, with statistical significance (P＜0.05). Conclusion Scalp acupuncture combined with electroacupuncture can obviously improve the language understanding and expression ability and language communication ability of aphasic patients after ischemic stroke.
