Optimum Selection Of Acupuncture Treatment Programs Of Cerebral Infarction And Its Effects On Insulin Resistance

Objective: To study the optimum program of acupuncture treatment and the mechanism for the treatment of cerebral infarction.Methods: Thirty-two cases were randomly devided into eight groups. The four factors were the times of manipulation(A) to incorporating rehabilitation(B), acupuncture opportunity(C)and acupoints(D),and their corresponding two levels, which were adopted respectively in treatment of every group. Then nerve function defect integral and insulin resistance were observed before and after treatment.Results:The acupuncture opportunity, the times of manipulation, to integrate rehabilitation and acupoints have significant effects on nerve function defect (P<0. 05);The time of manipulation, acupuncture opportunity and acupoints have significant effects on insulin resistance(P< 0. 05).Conclusion: During the acute stage(l~7D), employing the method of the cluster needling of scalp point, twisting twice which incorporated the rehabilitation of cerebral infarction can improve the symptom of the defect of nerve function effectively and regulate the effect of acupuncture on insulin resistance.The method of the cluster needling of scalp point, acute stage, and twisting twice are the best therapic program in the experiment. And regulating effect on IR is one of the effective mechanisms.
