Study On Acupuncture Therapy Of Dredging Governor Vessel For Regulating Mentality In Vascular Dementia

ObjectiveThis study is aiming to discuss the clinical curative effect and principle of acupuncture method of Dredging Governor Vessel for Regulating Mentality in Vascular Dementia, and offer a scientific theory and clinical evidence for its further application.MethodAll Patients of Vascular Dementia were selected from Guangdong Province Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital. Patients who were in line with the the diagnostic standard and inclusion criteria were assigned into two groups by the principle of random:33cases were given acupuncture method of dredging governor vessel in therapy group, and33cases were treated with routine acupuncture treatment in routing group. The two groups both accepted the basis treatment, exclude the impact of this interference factors for research project. Therapy group:the main points including GV20, GV24, GV24, GV29and GB20were selected, and auxiliary points comprising LR1, KI3, PC6, ST40and SP6were selected.Twisted these needles with180-200times per minute of frequenc until having the sense of acupuncture. With30min retention including needle manipulation per10min. Routing group:the main points including GV20and EX-HN1were selected, and auxi liary points comprising KI3, GB39, ST36and KI4were selected. After having the sense of acupuncture, with30min retention including needle, all patients were used the1.0inches of stainless needles. One treatment one day, six days consis a course, between these courses for1day off. Theses courses of treatment lasted for2weeks. The effect was assessed by the Hasegawa Dementia Seale (HDS), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Ability of Daily Living scale (ADL), Neurological Function Deficit Score(NFDS)the Seale for The Differentiation, of Syndromes of Vascular Dementia(SDSVD). Before and after the treatment, both of the two groups were tested the Nitric-Oxi de (NO) and Superoxide Dismutase(SOD) to investigate changes of them. All date were analyzed by the software SPSS19.0.Results1. It was comparable between the two groups in age, gender, course of disease and evaluation scores of HIS, MMSE, HDS, ADL, NFDS and SASVD before the treatment (P>0.05).2. The result revealed that both groups can dramatically increase patients the score of mini-mental state examination. Both of the two groups revealed no significant difference(P>0.05). It revealed that the two group had better effect on cognitive ability improvement for the VD patients.3. The result revealed that both groups can dramatically improve patients’ the score of Hasegawa Dementia Seale. Both of the two groups revealed no significant difference (P>0.05). It revealed that the two group had better effect on cognitive ability improvement for the VD patients.4. The result revealed that both groups can dramatically improve patients’ the score of Ability of Daily Living scale, the treatment group was dramatically increased, and the result had the statistical difference (P<0.05). It revealed that the group of dredging governor vessel for regul ating mentality had better function than the routing acupuncture group on the activities of daily living in improvement for the VD patients.5. The result revealed that both groups can dramatically improve patients’ the score of Neurological Function Deficit Score (NFDS). the treatment group was dramatically increased, and the result had the statistical difference (P<0.05). It revealed that the group of dredging governor vessel for regulating mentality had better function than the routing acupuncture group on the Neurological Deficit improvement for the VD patients.6. The result revealed that the total effective rate for the Differentiation of Syndromes of Vascular Dementia (SDSVD) in treatment group was80.6%, and the matched Group was76.7%, both of the two groups revealed no significant difference on the clinical curative effect (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the score for The Differentiation of Syndromes of Vascular Dementia (SDSVD) was dramatically increased in both two groups, and the scores between them revealed no significant difference (P>0.05).7. The date indicates that both groups can dramatically improve patients’ Nitric-Oxide (NO) and increase Superoxide Dismutase(SOD), the statistical difference(P<0.01), and the treatment group had obvious function than the matched one (P<0.05). The result indicates that acupuncture therapy of dredging governor vessel for regulating Mentality had better effect to clear radicals and regulate cerebral blood flow than the traditional acupuncture method for the VD patients.Conclusion1. Both of the two methods had apparent clinical effect for treating Vascular Dementia.2. Acupuncture therapy of dredging governor vessel for regulating Mentality had better clinical effect than routine acupuncture treatment for Vascular Dementia.3. Acupuncture therapy of dredging governor vessel for regulating Mentality had better effect in improving patients’Nitric-Oxide(NO)and increasing Superoxide Dismutase(SOD). And it showed that the therapy group had obvious function to clear radicals and regulate cerebral blood flow than the routing acupuncture group for the VD patients.4. Acupuncture therapy of dredging governor vessel for regulating Mentality is convenient, simple and effective, and is easy to apply. It will have abroad application prospect in the future.
