梅花针叩刺腕部三阴经治疗中风后腕关节拘挛临床观察

目的:比较梅花针叩刺腕部三阴经联合康复训练与单纯康复训练治疗中风后腕关节拘挛的临床疗效。方法:将72例中风后腕关节拘挛患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组36例。对照组采用单纯康复训练,每周5次,3周为一疗程,共治疗3个疗程;观察组在对照组治疗基础上采用梅花针叩刺腕部三阴经,叩刺部位为手三阴经的腕部循行部位,范围在腕横纹上3寸至腕横纹下1寸,每周3次,3周为一疗程,共治疗3个疗程。观察两组患者治疗前后腕关节主动背伸活动度(AROM)、上肢运动功能Fugl-Meyer评分(FMA)和日常生活活动能力Barthel指数(BI)评分变化。结果:治疗后两组AROM、FMA评分和BI评分均优于治疗前(P<0.05),且观察组3项指标的改善程度均优于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:梅花针叩刺腕部三阴经联合康复训练较单纯康复训练治疗中风后腕关节拘挛疗效更显著。

Clinical effect of plum-blossom needle tapping at three yin meridians of wrist on wrist joint contracture after stroke

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of plum-blossom needle tapping at three yin meridians of wrist combined with rehabilitation training and simple rehabilitation training on wrist joint contracture after stroke. Methods A total of 72 patients with wrist joint contracture after stroke were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 36 cases in each one. In the control group, simple rehabilitation training was applied, 5 times a week, 3 weeks as one course and totally 3 courses were required. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, plum-blossom needle tapping at three yin meridians of wrist was adopted in the observation group. The tapping regions were wrist traveling parts of three yin meridians of hand, ranging from up 3 cun to below 1 cun of wrist crease, 3 times a week, 3 weeks as one course and totally 3 courses were required. The active range of motion(AROM) of active wrist extension, Fugl-Meyer score(FMA) and Barthel index(BI) score were observed before and after treatment in the two groups. Results The AROM, FMA scores and BI scores after treatment in the two groups were superior to before treatment(P<0.05), and the improvements of 3 indexes in the observation group were superior to the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of plum-blossom needle tapping at three yin meridians of wrist combined with rehabilitation training is superior to simple rehabilitation training on wrist joint contracture after stroke.
