Clinical Effect of Ultrasound Combined with Electric Stimulation Localization Injection of Botulinum Toxin in the Treatment of Patients with Upper Limb Spasm after Stroke
Objective:To analyze ultrasound combined with electrical stimulation injection of botulinum toxin in the treatment of upper limb spasm after stroke.Methods:A total of 60 patients with upper limb spasticity after stroke in the rehabilitation department of Zhangjiagang Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Tranditional Chinese Medicine were selected.The patients were hospitalized from April 2017 to April 2022.They were divided into a control group and an experimental group with 30 cases in each group by random number method.The control group was treated with electrical stimulation and location injection of botulinum toxin,the experimental group was treated with ultrasound on the basis of the control group.After 1 month of treatment,the upper limb function and their quality of life were evaluated in both groups.Results:After treatment,the elbow flexion,wrist flexion,and finger flexion scores in the Modified Ashworth Spasticity Scale of the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of physical quality,mental health,emotional function,and social function in the improved quality of life scale of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Ultrasound combined with electrical stimulation for targeted injection of botulinum toxin in the treatment of upper limb spasm after stroke can significantly improve the upper limb activity function and the quality of life of patients.
