体针与头体针联合对动脉硬化性脑梗死急性期的治疗作用比较

目的：比较头针配合体针与单纯体针治疗动脉硬化性脑梗死急性期的疗效差异。方法：将42例动脉硬化性脑梗死急性期患者分为2组，分别采用头针配合体针和单纯体针治疗，对患者治疗前后的神志、语言、肢体运动功能等进行综合评分并比较。结果：2组疗后积分均比疗前明显减少，差异有非常显著性意义（P〈0．01）；头体针组治疗前后积分差异显著大于体针组（P〈0．05）；2组临床有效率比较差异无显著意义（P〉0．05），而愈显率比较差异有非常显著性意义（P〈0．01），头体针组疗效明显高于体针组。结论：针刺可明显改善动脉硬化性脑梗死急性期患者的神志、语言和肢体运动功能状态，头针配合体针疗效优于单纯体针治疗。

Comparison of therapeutic effects between body acupuncture and scalp acupuncture combined with body acupuncture on atherosclerotic cerebral infarction at acute stage

OBJECTIVE: To compare therapeutic effects between body acupuncture and scalp acupuncture combined with body acupuncture on atherosclerotic cerebral infarction at acute stage. METHODS: Forty-two cases of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction at acute stage were divided into 2 groups. They were treated respectively by scalp acupuncture combined with body acupuncture and simple body acupuncture. The comprehensive scores of mind, speech, limb motor function, etc. of the patients before and after treatment were recorded and compared. RESULTS: After treatment, the cumulative scores in the two groups reduced significantly (P < 0.01); the difference of scores before and after treatment in the scalp-body acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the body acupuncture group (P < 0.05); there was no significant difference between the two groups in clinically effective rate (P > 0.05), but there was a very significantly difference between the two groups in the markedly effective rate (P < 0.01), the scalp-body acupuncture group being significantly higher than that in the body acupuncture group. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture can improve mind, speech and limb motor function of the patient with atherosclerotic cerebral infarction at acute stage, and the therapeutic effect of scalp combined with body acupuncture is better than that of simple body acupuncture.
