Objective: To observe the clinical effect of Zhu’s scalp acupuncture retention qi method on limb movement disorder of acute cerebral infarction.Methods: 60 patients included in the study were randomly divided into ordinary acupuncture group and Zhu’s scalp acupuncture group,with 3 cases shedding midway.Finally,57 patients were enrolled,including 28 in the ordinary acupuncture group and29 in the Zhu’s scalp acupuncture group.The ordinary acupuncture group was treated with body acupuncture and left for 30 minutes.Treatment course: once a day,30 minutes each time,5 times of treatment,2 days of rest,a total of 10 times.Zhu’s scalp acupuncture group was based on the ordinary acupuncture group,after the body needle was removed,Zhu’s scalp acupuncture was applied for about 10 minutes.The patient was asked to move the affected limb during the needle operation,and the needle was left for 24 hours.Zhu’s scalp acupuncture once every other day,a total of 7 times.The modified Fugl-Meyer Motor Function Scale(FMA)score,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score and Modified Barthel Index Scale(MBI)score before and after treatment were compared to evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results:After treatment,FMA score and MBI score of 2 groups were increased compared with before(P<0.05),especially in Zhu’s scalp acupuncture group,the increase of FMA score and MBI score was more obvious,and the difference between groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).NIHSS scores were all lower than before(P<0.05),and the decrease of NIHSS scores was more obvious in Zhu’s scalp acupuncture group,and the difference between groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:(1)Both Zhu’s scalp acupuncture and ordinary acupuncture are effective in the treatment of limb movement disorders in acute cerebral infarction.(2)Compared with ordinary acupuncture,Zhu’s scalp acupuncture retention qi method is more effective in improving limb motor function,nerve injury recovery and daily ability. |
