Objective To investigate the curative effect of acupuncture with najia method on the sequelae of elderly stroke.Methods A total of 82 elderly patients with sequelae of stroke treated in Maanshan shiqiye Hospital,Anhui Province from May 2020 to July 2022 were selected as the study objects,and they were divided into the observation group and the control group according to random number table method,with 41 cases in each group.The observation group was treated by acupuncture with najia method,while the control group was treated by conventional acupuncture.After one month of treatment,neurological function,hemorheology indexes,therapeutic effect,ability of daily living,and incidence of adverse reac-tions were compared between the two groups before and after one month of treatment.Results After one month of treatment,the National Institute of Health stroke scale scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).After one month of treatment,whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity of both groups were lower than those before treat-ment,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group;and the erythrocyte deformation rate was higher than that before treatment,and that in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The clinical effect of the observation group was bet-ter than that of the control group(P<0.05).After one month of treatment,the activity of daily living score of both groups was higher than that before treatment,and that in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After one month of treatment,there was no signifi-cant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture with najia method is effective in the treatment of sequelae of elderly stroke,which is worthy of promotion.
