Effect of acupuncture and motion therapy combined with Chinese medicine rubbing and low frequency wave on the rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia after stroke
Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of acupuncture and motion therapy combined with Chinese medicine rubbing and low frequency wave in the rehabilitation of hemiplegia patients after stroke.Methods From May 2019 to March 2022,86 patients with hemiplegia after stroke were prospectively selected and divided into study group(n=43)and control group(n=43)by random number table method.The control group was treated with Chinese medicine rubbing and low frequency wave,and the study group was treated with acupuncture and motion therapy on the basis of the control group.The treatments continued for 4 weeks.The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,Fugl-Meyer Motor Function Scale(FMA)score,Modified Barthel Index(MBI)score and walking ability were compared between the two groups.Results The NIHSS score was decreased after treatment in both groups(P<0.05),and the NIHSS score in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The FMA score and MBI score were increased after treatment in both groups(P<0.05),and the scores in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).There were significant differences in the grade distribution of walking ability after treatment between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture and motion therapy combined with Chinese medicine rubbing and low frequency wave therapy can improve the nerve function,motor function,daily living ability and walking ability of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
