Effect of scalp acupuncture on cognitive function and self-care ability of daily life in patients with traumatic brain injury

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of scalp acupuncture on cognitive dysfunction of traumatic brain injury. Methods Seventy patients with cognitive dysfunction of traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. After treatment, 5 cases dropped off in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with cognitive training;the patients in the observation group were treated with cognitive training and scalp acupuncture at Baihui(GV 20), Sishencong(EX-HN 1), Zhisanzhen and Niesanzhen, and the needles were retained for 6 h. The two groups were treated once a day, 6 times a week;one-month treatment was taken as one course, and 3 continuous courses were given. The scores of mini-mental state examination(MMSE), Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA), activity of daily living(ADL) and functional independence measure(FIM) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results Compared before treatment, the MMSE and MoCA scores in the observation group, and ADL and FIM scores in the two groups were significantly increased after treatment(P<0.05), and the improvement of each index in the observation group was more significant than those in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Scalp acupuncture could improve cognitive function and self-care ability of daily life in patients with traumatic brain injury.
