Effect of Tongnao Huoluo Acupuncture Combined with Medium Frequency Pulse Therapy on Limb Motor Function and Muscle Tension in Patients with Post-Stroke Hemiplegia
Objective:To observe the effects of Tongnao Huoluo(activating Brain and dredging collateral)acupuncture combined with medium frequency pulse therapy on limb motor function and muscle tension in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.Methods:67 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia were randomly divided into the control group(n=33)and the observation group(n=34).Both groups were given conventional medication and rehabilitation exercise;on which basis,the control group was treated with medium frequency pulse therapy,and the observation group was treated with Huonao Tongluo acupuncture on the treatment basis of the control group.Clinical efficacy,TCM symptom scores,limb motor function,balance and gait analysis results,muscle tension and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups after the treatment.Results:After 8 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The scores of TCM symptoms and the total score were lower in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The scores of Wolf Motor Function Scale(WMFT),Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremity(FMA-LE)and functional comprehensive assessment(FCA)were higher in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The timed up and go(TUG)and 10 m walking time were shorter in the observation group than those in the control group,the single support phase of the affected side/healthy side was bigger in the treatment group than that in the control group,and the step length of the affected side was longer in the observation group than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The improved Ashworth grades of upper and lower limbs were better in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Tongnao Huoluo acupuncture combined with medium frequency pulse therapy can significantly improve the limb motor function,balance and gait of patients with post-stroke hemiplegia,it can also reduce the muscle tension,and the efficacy is better than that of simple medium frequency pulse therapy.
