Clinical efficacy of copper needle scraping technique in the patients with lacunar cerebral infarction
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of copper needle scraping technique in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction.Methods 113 patients with lacunar infarction were selected and randomly divided into the control group and observation group.The control group were treated with conventional Western medicine,while the observation group were treated with copper needle scraping technique and Western medicine.The neurological function,cerebral hemodynamic conditions,cognitive function scores,and incidence of cognitive impairment between the two groups patients were compared.Results After one or two courses of treatment,the NIHSSs of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After two courses of treatment,the cerebral blood flow(CBF)and cerebral blood volume(CBV)of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,while the vascular resistance index(RI)of the observation group was lower than that of the control(P<0.05).The Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)of the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while the incidence of cognitive impairment was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Copper needle scraping technique improves effectively the neurological function and cerebral hemodynamics in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction,and it is positive significance in promoting cognitive function recovery and reducing the risk of cognitive impairment.
