Clinical Observation on the Therapeutic Effect of Electroacupuncture Combined with Modified Xiaoxuming Decoction on Hemiplegia after Ischemic Stroke
Objective To explore the clinical therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture combined with modified Xiaoxuming Decoction on hemiplegia after ischemic stroke(HAIS).Methods 80 patients with HAIS who were hospitalized in the People's Hospital of Heyang County from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected and randomly divided into the treatment group(n=40)and the control group(n=40).The control group received routine treatment in neurology,while the treatment group received electroacupuncture combined with modified Xiaoxuming Decoction based on the control group.After two weeks,the TCM symptom scores,NIH Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores,and activity of daily living(ADL)scores of the two groups were observed.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 92.50%,which was higher than that(77.50%)of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the TCM symptom scores between the two groups of patients before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,the TCM symptom scores in both groups were significantly reduced compared to before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease was more significant in the treatment group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the NIHSS scores and ADL scores between the two groups of patients before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,NIHSS scores and ADL scores of the two groups of patients were improved compared to before treatment(P<0.05),and the improvement of the treatment group was more significant(P<0.01).Conclusions Electroacupuncture combined with modified Xiaoxuming Decoction has a good clinical efficacy for HAIS,which can improve the clinical symptoms and motor function of patients,improve the quality of life of patients and is worth applying.
