Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Tongyuan acupuncture combined with Tiaoqi Huoxue Jieyu Decoction in treating stroke in recovery period of qi deficiency and blood stasis complicated by liver stagnation syndrome.Methods A total of 80 patients with stroke in recovery period were randomly divided into observation group and control group,40 cases in each group.The control group was intervened by conventional western medicine and rehabilitation training,the observation group was treated by Tongyuan acupuncture combined with Tiaoqi Huoxue Jieyu Decoction on the basis of the treatment in the control group.The course of treatment covered one month continuously.After one month of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes of scores in the patients of the two groups before and after treatment as follows were observed,including Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE),muscle strength and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS),as well as Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),Activity of Daily Living Scale(ADL),and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome.The changes of procalcitonin(PCT),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),and interleukin 6(IL-6)levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.The safety and occurrence of adverse reactions in the two groups were also evaluated.Results(1)The total effective rate was 95.00%(38/40)in the observation group and 77.50%(31/40)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores of patients in the two groups improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the MMSE scores of patients in the two groups improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the muscle strength scores and NIHSS scores of patients in the two groups improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the PSQI scores and ADL scores of the patients in the two groups improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(6)After treatment,the PCT,TNF-α,and IL-6 levels of patients in the two groups improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(7)The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 10.00%in the observation group and 5.00%in the control group.The intergroup comparison showed that the difference being not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Tongyuan acupuncture combined with Tiaoqi Huoxue Jieyu Decoction in treating stroke in recovery period of qi deficiency and blood stasis complicated by liver stagnation syndrome can significantly improve patients'cognitive function,neurological function and muscle strength of limbs,enhance patients'sleep quality and living ability,and adjust the normal physiological state of the body,thus improving patients'quality of life.
