Effect and Mechanism of Liu's Milli-fire Needle in Improving Spastic Paralysis of Upper Limb after Stroke
Objective:To investigate the effect and related mechanism of Liu's milli-fire needle in improving spastic paralysis of upper limb after stroke.Method:A total of 100 patients with spastic paralysis of upper limb after stroke in the Rehabilitation Medicine Department and Neurology Department of Dongguan Songshan Lake Central Hospital from April 2021 to October 2022 were selected and divided into control group(n=50)and observation group(n=50)by random number table method.The control group was given routine rehabilitation treatment,and the observation group was added Liu's milli-fire needle treatment on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy of the two groups at the 2nd,4th and 8th week were compared,and the scores of Fugl-Meyer upper limb exercise scale(FMA-UE),Barthel index(BI),national institutes of health neurological deficit scale(NIHSS),serum TC/HDL-C,apolipoprotein B(ApoB)were compared before treatment and at the 2nd,4th and 8th week of treatment.Result:At the 2nd,4th and 8th week of treatment,the total effective rates of observation group were higher than those of control group(P<0.05).At the 2nd,4th and 8th week of treatment,FMA-UE scores and BI scores in observation group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).At the 2nd,4th and 8th week of treatment,NHISS scores in observation group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05).At the 2nd,4th and 8th week of treatment,serum TC/HDL-C and ApoB levels in both groups were lower than before treatment,and the improvement in observation group were more obvious than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Liu's mile-fire needle can relieve spasticity of the upper limb in patients with spastic paralysis of the upper limb after stroke,improve movement ability and daily living ability,and effectively repair nerve defects,the mechanism may be related to the regulation of serum TC/HDL-C and ApoB expression.
