Application of electroacupuncture combined with functional electrical stimulation in promoting lower limb motor function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury
Objective:To observe the application effect of electroacupuncture combined with functional electrical stimulation in incomplete spinal cord injury.Methods:Ninety patients with incomplete spinal cord injury were randomly divided into a control group(n=45)and an observation group(n=45).The control group was treated with functional electrical stimulation,and the observation group was additionally treated with electroacupuncture.The muscle strength,lower limb motor score,lower limb sensory score,walking index for spinal cord injury Ⅱ(WISCI Ⅱ),modified Ashworth scale(MAS)grade,gait parameters,clinical efficacy and safety of treatment were observed in the two groups.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the muscle strength,lower limb motor score,lower limb sensory score,WISCI Ⅱ,MAS grade,and gait parameters of the observation group were better in the observation group than the control group(all P<0.05).No serious adverse events occurred in both groups.Conclusion:The efficacy of the combination therapy for the treatment of incomplete spinal cord injury is remarkable,and it can promote the recovery of lower limb motor function.
