Efficacy of Acupuncture Method of Activating Orifices and Dredging Meridians in Assist Western Medical Treatment for Postoperative Patients with Acute Craniocerebral Injury
Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of applying the acupuncture method of activating orific-es and dredging meridians to assist western medical treatment in postoperative patients with acute craniocerebral injury.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 98 patients with acute craniocere-bral injury treated.Patients were grouped according to different treatment methods,with all participants undergoing decompressive craniectomy by the same medical team.The control group(49 cases)received western medical treat-ment after surgery,while the study group(49 cases)received a combination of acupuncture method of activating or-ifices and dredging meridians and western medicine after surgery.The clinical efficacy,serum indicators,neurologi-cal functions,cerebral perfusion pressure,intracranial pressure,and consciousness status were compared between the two groups.Results:The overall effective rate of the study group was 95.92%,which was significantly higher than 81.63%of the control group(P<0.05).Intracranial pressure and NIHSS scores of the study group were lower,while cerebral perfusion pressure and GCS scores were higher than those of the control group at 5 days and 12 days after treatment(P<0.05).Levels of AOPPs,S-100B,and NSE decreased in both groups at 5 days and 12 days after treatment compared with before treatment,with the decrease being more significant in the study group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture method of activating orifices and dredging meridians in assisting western medicine for postoperative patients with acute craniocerebral injury contributes to improved efficacy,reduced intra-cranial pressure,enhanced cerebral perfusion pressure,improved neurological functions,and facilitated recovery of consciousness.
