Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of cerebellar fastigial nucleus treated by electrical stimulation on patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods140 cerebral infarction patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group with 70 cases in each group.The experimental group was treated with routine drugs and electrical stimulating on cerebellar fastigial nucleus;the control group was only treated with routine drugs.The changes of motor function of limbs and activities of daily living of two groups were evaluated after treatment.ResultsAfter 21 days treatment,the score of Fugl-Meyer assessment of the experimental group was 39.2±(7.7) and that of the control group was 26.3±8.1.There was a significant difference between two groups(t=4.22,P<0.01).The score of Barther index of the experimental group was 43.8±8.4 and that of the control group was 29.7±7.5.There was also a significant difference between two groups(t=4.97,P<0.01).ConclusionThe electrical stimulation on cerebellar fastigial nucleus is a new effective way to treat acute cerebral infarction.
