针灸防治中风后偏瘫肩痛近期疗效观察

目的:探索针灸早期介入中风后偏瘫肩痛防治的有效方法.方法:将90例中风后偏瘫肩痛患者按照随机数字表法分成3组:单纯针灸组(A组)、针灸加中西医内科常规治疗组(B组)和单纯中西医内科常规治疗组(C组)各30例.A组针灸用穴以阴经为主;B组在针灸基础上(用穴同A组),配合内科常规中西药治疗;C组单纯中西医内科常规治疗方法同B组.在对其效应进行同期平行观察时,对3组间的视觉模拟评分(VAS)及总有效率进行统计学分析.结果:A、B两组在肢体疼痛缓解程度优良率分别为90.0%和93.3%,均明显高于C组的46.7%(P<0.01);而A、B组间则无明显差异(P>0.05).结论:针灸疗法对中风后偏瘫肩痛疗效确切,早期介入效果更佳,与单纯药物相比具有明显优势.

The therapeutic effects were evaluated by VAS score. Results The good rate for pain was 90.0% in the groups A and 93.3% in the group B, significantly better than 46.7% in the group C (P<0.01); and there was no significant difference between the group A and group B (P>0.05).
