Effect of Median Nerve Electrical Stimulation Combined with Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapy in the Treatment of Patients with Post-stroke Consciousness Disorder
Objective:To analyze the effect of median nerve electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy in the treatment of patients with post-stroke consciousness disorder.Method:Clinical data of 96 patients with post-stroke consciousness disorder admitted to the First People's Hospital of Bijie City from March 2021 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into control group(n=47)and observation group(n=49).The control group received median nerve electrical stimulation,and the observation group received median nerve electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy.The treatment lasted for 4 weeks.The clinical efficacy,coma condition,neurological function,cognitive function and cerebral hemodynamics were compared between the two groups.Result:The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the scores of Glasgow coma score(GCS),National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)and mini-mental state examination(MMSE)between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,GCS score and MMSE score of observation group were higher than those in control group,NIHSS score was lower than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in mean velocity(Vm)and peak systolic velocity(Vs)of middle cerebral artery between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the Vm and Vs of middle cerebral artery in the observation group were faster than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Median nerve electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy has a significant effect on the treatment of patients with post-stroke consciousness disorder,which can accelerate the recovery of patients,reduce their nerve function damage,accelerate the recovery of cognitive function,and improve cerebral hemodynamics.
