Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of electric acupuncture combined with Tianding acupoint on the efficacy,syndrome score,and quality of life of post-stroke intractable hiccup(IH).Methods:A total of 102 post-stroke IH patients admitted to our hospital from October 2022 to October 2023 were retrospectively included,and were divided into control group and observation group,with 51 cases in each group.The matched group patients were given conventional acupuncture treatment,while the observation group patients were given conventional electric acupuncture combined with Tianding acupoint treatment.The clinical efficacy,effectiveness,hiccup symptom scores before and Post-treatment,and quality of life score between two groups of patients.Results:The proportion of patients in the observation group who took immediate effect(27.45％vs.5.88％)and the proportion of patients who took effect within 24 hours of the first treatment(60.78％vs.17.65％)were higher than matched group.The average onset time[(32.14±9.72)h vs.(70.34±23.51)h]was significantly shorter than matched group(P＜0.05).The treatment recovery rate of observation group was higher than matched group(80.39％vs.50.98％,P＜0.05),and the total effective rate of treatment was not different from matched group(96.08％vs.86.27％,P＞0.05).Post-treatment,both groups of patients showed a significant decrease in hiccup symptom scores,and there were significant differences at different time points(P＜0.05).The hiccup symptom scores of the observation group patients at 1 d,3 d,and 5 d post-treatment were lower than matched group(P＜0.05).Post-treatment,the overall scores of appetite,mental state,sleep,and quality of life in both groups increased,and the scores in the observation group were higher than matched group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination of electric acupuncture and Tianding acupoint has a significant therapeutic effect on post-stroke IH,which can quickly take effect,improve patients'clinical symptoms,and enhance their quality of life.
