Impacts of Acupuncture Guided by the Four Seas Theory Combined with Cognition-Motor Dual Task Training on Perceptual Control and Attention in Patients with Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment
Objective:To explore the impacts of acupuncture guided by the Four Seas theory combined with cognition-motor dual task training on conceptual control and attention in patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment.Methods:80 patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment were randomly divided into the control group and the study group.The control group was treated with cognition-motor dual task training;on which basis,the study group was also treated with acupuncture guided by the Four Seas theory.The perceptual control and attention status were compared between the two groups.Results:The scores of all dimensions of the disease perception control scale were lower after the treatment than those before the treatment in the two groups,and the scores were lower in the study group than those in the control group after the treatment(P<0.05).The scores of Symbol Digit Modalities Test(SDMT)scale,Digital Vibrotactile Test(DVT)scale,Digital Span(DS)scale,Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)Scale were higher after the treatment than those before the treatment in the two groups,and the scores were higher in the study group than those in the control group after the treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture guided by the Four Seas theory combined with cognition-motor dual task training has a definite therapeutic effect on post-stroke cognitive impairment,which can obviously improve perceptual control and attention.
