Abstract:
Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of acupuncture therapy in treating post-stroke pulmonary(PSP)and its impact on diaphragm function based on the theory of liver ascending and lung descending.Methods:This study was a prospective study,70 PSP patients who were admitted to our hospital from April 2023 to August 2024 were selected,they were divided into control group and study group according to the random number table method,with 35 patients in each group.Both groups received routine treatment,the control group received respiratory training,while the study group received respiratory training combined with acupuncture therapy.Clinical efficacy,recovery time of signs,related scale scores[clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS),National Institute of HealthStroke Scale(NIHSS)],blood gas and lung function indicators[(partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),partial pressure of carbondioxide(PaCO2),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),peak expiratory flow(PEF)]and diaphragm function between two groups were compared.Results:The total clinical effective rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group,and the time for fever resolution,relief of pulmonary infection,disappearance of pulmonary wet rales and disappearance of cough were shorter than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The CPIS scores,NIHSS scores and PaCO2 of the study group at 14 days after intervention were lower than those of the control group,FEV1,PEF,PaO2,thickening rate and activity of diaphragm were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture therapy in treating PSP patients based on the theory of liver ascending and lung descending,can shorten recovery time of signs,improve clinical treatment effectiveness,reduce the degree of infection and brain nerve damage,and improve patients' lung function and diaphragm function.
