Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of acupuncture and rehabilitation training on the quality of survival and cognitive function of patients with brain injuries. Methods:A total of 76 patients with brain injuries treated in our department from Jan 2014 to Apr 2015 were selected as the research object (n=76) . They were randomly divided into two groups, observation group and control group, 38 in each group. The patients in control group were treated by acupuncture and routine care. The patients in observation group were treated by acupuncture and rehabilitation training. The patients' cognitive function, life quality, ability of daily life were observed. Results:Before the treatment,the LOTCA and ADL scores of both groups had no significance for statistics (P>0.05) but improved after the treatment. At 4,8 weeks after treatment,the LOTCA and ADL scores in observation group were higher than those in control group (P<0.05) WHOQOL-BREF was used to survey the quality of survival,and the scores of mental health, psychological health, interpersonal relationship and social relationship in observation group were also higher than those in control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion:Brain injury patients treated with acupuncture and rehabilitation training can improve the patients' cognitive function,ability of daily life and quality of survival,and would be conducive to the long-term prognosis,which is worthy of promotion.
