Objective To observe the effect of Zhuang Medicine Jib on spasm in hemiplegics after stroke. Methods From January, 2014 to December, 2015, 55 patients with spastic hemiplegia after stroke were divided randomly into treatment group (n=27) and control group (n=28). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation and acupuncture, while the treatment group accepted Zhuang Medicine Jib in addition. They were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Barthel index (BI), Simpling Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and four weeks after treatment. The side-effects within three months after treatment were recorded. Results The scores of MAS, BI and FMA improved in both groups after treatment (t>3.32, P<0.01), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t>2.286, P<0.05). No side-effect was found in the follow-up. Conclusion Zhuang Medicine Jib can further relieve spasm after stroke, and improve the motor function and activities of daily living.
