Clinical study on the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia with Jin's Three-needle Therapy
Objective To explore whether Jin's Three-needle Therapy can improve cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.Methods Patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group(n=28)and a control group(n=27)using a randomized controlled method.The control group received antipsychotic drugs,while the observation group received treatment with Jin's Three-needle Therapy on this basis.Observe the PANSS and RBANS scores of two groups of patients before and 4 weeks after treatment.Results After treatment,both groups showed a significant decrease in PANSS and a significant increase in RBANS scores,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in PANSS scores between the two groups after treatment(P>0.05);after treatment,the scores of immediate memory,speech,attention,and delayed memory in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion Jin's Three-needle Therapy combined with antipsychotic drugs can treat clinical symptoms and cognitive dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia,and is superior to using antipsychotic drugs alone in four aspects:immediate memory,speech,attention,and delayed memory.
