Effects of Acupuncture with Meridian Acupoints and Three Anmian Acupoints on Insomnia and Related Depression and Anxiety State

Objective

To assess the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture with meridian acupoints combined with three Anmian acupoints.

Methods

Sixty subjects were randomly divided into two groups: the acupuncture with meridian acupoints group (Group A), and the acupuncture with meridian acupoints and three Anmian acupoints group (Group B) with 30 cases in each group. After 4-week treatment, the clinical therapeutic effects and scores for the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), depression index and anxiety index were assessed in the two groups before and after treatment.

Results

The total effective rate of therapy was higher in Group B (93.3%) compared with that in the Group A (66.7%, P<0.05). When comparing after treatment with before treatment, there were significant differences in the PSQI score of sleep quality, time to sleep, sleep time, sleep disorders in Group A (P <0.05) and significant differences in the PSQI score of sleep quality, time to sleep, sleep time, sleep disorders and daytime disorders in Group B (P <0.01 or P<0.05). There were significant differences in total PSQI score between Group A and Group B (P<0.05). Both groups improved the depression and anxiety state of the patients, but acupuncture with meridian acupoints combined with three Anmian acupoints was more effective than meridian acupoints alone (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Acupuncture with meridian acupoints combined with three Anmian acupoints can improve the sleeping quality of patients with insomnia.

Effect of catgut implantation at acupoints on GABAB and mGluR1 expressions in brain stem of rats with spasticity after stroke

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of catgut implantation at acupoints on the expressions of γ-amino butyric acid B receptor (GABA_B) and metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) in the brain stem of rats with spasticity after stroke.MethodsIn total, 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: a sham group (n=10), a model group (n=25) and a treatment group (n=25). The rats in both the model group and the treatment group were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion to establish a model of focal cerebral ischemia. Rats with limb-spasm met the inclusion criteria. Only the left carotid artery was isolated in sham group rats. Three days after modeling, the treatment group was subjected to catgut implantation at Dazhui (GV 14), Guanyuan (CV 4), and Zhongwan (CV 12). Neurological deficit symptoms were assessed with the Zea-Longa neurological deficit score. The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and isolated muscle tone were used to evaluate spasticity before and after treatment. Immunohistochemistry was applied to determine the expression of GABA_B and mGluR1 in the rat brain stem after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, neural impairment symptoms had significantly improved in the treatment group when compared to the model group (P<0.05). Both MAS and isolated muscle tone in the treatment group were significantly decreased when compared with the model group (P<0.05), and were also lower than before treatment. GABA_B expression was significantly higher and mGluR1 was lower in the treatment group when compared with the model group (P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively).ConclusionCatgut implantation at Dazhui (GV 14), Guanyuan (CV 4), and Zhongwan (CV 12), can relieve limb spasticity by increasing the expression of GABA_B and reducing the expression of mGluR1 in the brain stem of rats after stroke.

Clinical curative effect of electric acupuncture on acute cerebral infarction: a randomized controlled multicenter trial

ObjectiveTo examine whether electric acupuncture can improve the daily life of patients with ischemic cerebral apoplexy at acute stage.MethodsA stratified-block randomized controlled multicenter trial was designed for this study. Totally 340 patients with acute ischemic cerebral apoplexy were randomly divided into an electric acupuncture group and a control group. In the electric acupuncture group, 170 patients were treated with electric acupuncture and routine therapy, and 170 patients in the control group with routine therapy alone. Major indexes for judging curative effect were Barthel index at 3- and 6-months follow-up visits and number of re-hospitalized patients. Minor indexes for judging curative effect were change in the score for nervous dysfunction at 4 and 12 weeks follow-up visits and number of patients persisting in rehabilitation treatment with acupuncture during follow-up visit.ResultsBaseline data at the time of case selection between the two groups were similar. The odds ratio (OR) was 0.92, and the 95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.49–1.73 in disabled rate and 0.73 and 0.51–1.05 in the number of re-hospitalized patients in the electric acupuncture group at 6-month follow up visit compared with the control group. There was no difference in the score for nervous dysfunction at the end of 12-week follow-up visit between the two groups. The score for nervous dysfunction at the end of 4-week treatment in the electric acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The number of patients discharged from hospital who persisted in rehabilitation treatment with acupuncture in the acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the control group.ConclusionUsing electric acupuncture to treat patients with acute ischemic cerebral apoplexy can effectively improve the nervous dysfunction scores after 4-week treatment and their ability to deal with daily life after 6-month follow-up visit. Systematic treatment with acupuncture may also reduce the number of patients with secondary apoplexy.
