Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy Yizhi Qingxin Prescription combined with warming-needle muxibustion in the treatment of vascular cognitive impairment(VCI)after cerebral infarction,and to explore its effect on cognitive function.Methods A total of 110 cases of patients with definitive diagnosis of VCI after cerebral infarction admitted to Beijing Bo'ai Hospital from February 2020 to February 2023 were selected for the study.The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 55 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Donepezil Hydrochloride,and the observation group was treated with Yizhi Qingxin Prescription combined with warming-needle muxibustion on the basis of the treatment of the control group,the course of treatment covered four consecutive weeks.After one month of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes in the scores of the Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),as well as the measurements of cerebral blood perfusion were observed before and after the treatment of the patients in the two groups.The changes of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin 6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.The safety and incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups were also evaluated.Results(1)The total effective rate was 96.36％(53/55)in the observation group and 74.55％(41/55)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 MMSE scores and MoCA scores of the patients in the two groups were 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).(3)After treatment,the CBV,MTT,and CBF of the basal ganglia region of the two groups were significantly improved(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 serum CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α levels of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(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).(5)The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 7.27％(4/55),and that in the control group was 5.45％(3/55),the comparison between the two groups showed that the difference being not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Yizhi Qingxin Prescription combined with warming-needle muxibustion in the treatment of VCI after cerebral infarction can effectively alleviate the cognitive function of patients,improve their cerebral blood perfusion,and inhibit the release of inflammatory factors,so as to enhance their quality of life.
