The difference of the efficacy between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05), the Treatment Group is bett-er than the Control Group. Compared Constipation Clinical symptom Score before and after treatment, difference among the Treatment Group was statistically significant (P<0.01), difference among the Control Group was statistically sig-gnif icant (P<0.01), difference between the two groups was statistically signif-icant (P<0.01). This suggested that both the Treatment Group and the Control Group can reduce the constipation clinical score,but the Treatment Group is better than the Control Group;Compared First Defecation Time between the two groups the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).This suggested that the first defecation time of the Treatment Group is shorter than the Control Group;Compared the Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score of gastrointestinal diseases, difference among the Treatment Group was statistic-ally significant (P<0.01), difference among the Control Group was statistically significant signiff icant (P<0.01), difference between the two groups was stati-stically significant (P<0.01). This suggested that both the Treatment Group and the Control Group can reduce the traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome score of gastrointestinal diseases, but the Treatment Group is better than the Contr-ol Group;Compared the adverse reactions of two groups, the Treatment Group was6.67%, the Control Group was16.67%, the difference was not statistically signi-ficant (P>0.05). This suggested that the advers reactions occurrence between the two groups were essentially the same.ConclusionAcupoint Application therapy can significantly reduce the clinical symp-toms of constipation and improce the traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome of gastrointestinal diseases after stroke, shorten the time of first defecat-ion, and the Clinical efficacy is better than the acupuncture therapy.This group.
