Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen combined with task-oriented mirror therapy on the upper limb motor function (ULMF) recovery and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of 80 convalescent patients with cerebral infarction admitted to Nanjing Lishui People’s Hospital from January 2017 to June 2020 were selected and divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given task-oriented mirror therapy, and the observation group was treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The ULFM, the cortex latency (CL) of MEPs, the central motor conduction time (CMCT), and patients’ daily functioning before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:Before treatment, there was no significant difference in ULMF score, CL of MEPs, CMCT, and daily functioning between the two groups ( P>0.05). After treatment, the ULMF score in the observation group (41.51±4.28) was higher than that in the control group (34.87±3.44), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); the CL and CMCT in the observation group [(21.89±0.97) ms and (9.24±0.70) ms, respectively] were all shorter than those in the control group [(22.91±0.92) ms and (9.96±0.83) ms, respectively], with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05); the daily functioning score in observation group (65.42±7.90) was higher than that in the control group (58.79±8.32), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Hyperbaric oxygen combined with task-oriented mirror therapy can improve the central nerve conduction of the convalescent patients with cerebral infarction, thus promoting their recovery of ULMF and daily functioning.
