Effects Of Electroacupuncture On Cerebral Function Alternations In Anxious And Resting State Of IAD Patients

OBJECTIVE:With IAS(Interne Addition Scale),SAS(Self Anxiety Scale) and detection of cerebral function alternations in resting state fMRI based on ALFF, effects and mechanism of electroacupuncture(EA) and psychological rehabilitation therapy (PRT) in treating Internet addiction disorder(IAD) anxiety state and resting state brain functional activity regulation mechanism were discussed, detecting methods for the IAD diagnosis provided.METHOD:Methods:48cases were randomly divided into the EA group, PRP group and controlled group, with16ones in each group, with two ones dropped and one rejected. Eventually,15cases in the EA group and14ones in the PRA group finished the whole study. After40days’continuous treatment, with the analysis of cerebral function alternations in resting state fMRI based on ALFF, IAS and SAS stores, symptoms, signs, psychological conditions and cerebral function alternations were observed.RESULT:1. After treatment, IAS and SDS stores in all IAD patients were improved with statistic significance(P<0.05), indicating that two therapies are effective on IAD. However, no significance was found between the two groups (P>0.05). Therefore, two therapies were of no difference in therapeutic effects.2. In fMRI, patients in EA group was of statistic significance before and after the treatment (P<0.05), while no significance was found in PRP group (P>0.05) indicating that EA could obviously alternated the cerebral function in the resting state.CONCLUSION:Both of EA and PRP could improve the symptoms of IAD patients, and EA could obviously improve the cerebral function. Furthermore, fMRI could objectively detected functions of cognitive abnormality in IAP formation. Therefore, fMRI could be used as a diagnosis and effects evaluation method in IAD studies.
