针刺对中风早期患者认知功能影响的临床观察

将６０例病情已稳定的中风早期患者随机分成实验组和对照组，每组各３０例。两组病人在接受常规针灸治疗及一些康复训练和临床药物治疗的同时，试验组同时加取四神聪、本神、通里、照海、舌三针等穴。然后应用黄东锋根据我国中风患者的具体情况而制定的认知功能积分表，来评估针刺对中风早期患者认知功能的影响。结果显示：实验组经３～４个月的治疗后，认知功能显著改善，与对照组相比，改善非常明显（ Ｐ＜ ０． ０１），说明针刺某些特定穴位能提高中风早期患者的认知功能。

Clinical Observation on the Effects of Acupuncture on the Cognition of the Early Stroke Patients

60 cerebrovascular accident (CAV) patients were divided into experimental group and control group. Each group had 30 CAV patients. There was no significant difference between the two groups in their age, sex, education, course of disease or affected side. Along with the routine therapy of acupuncture, rehabilitation training and clinical pharmacotherapy, some special points such as Sishencong, Tougli, Benshen, Shenting, Zhaohai, Shesanzhen etc. were selected for the acupuncture in the experimental group. And the cognitive test which was formulated by Huang Dengfeng was used to estimate the efficacy of acupuncture on the cognition of the early stroke patients. The results showed that after 3 to 4 months' treatment, the cognition of the experimental group was improved much better than that of the control group (P < 0. 01 ). Hence it is believed that acupuncturing some special points can obviously increase the cognitive scores of the early stroke patients.
