头针、体针、推拿及功能锻炼治疗中风61例分析

目的：观察头针、体针、推拿及功能锻炼配合西医早期康复治疗中风患者的临床疗效。方法：选择１１６例住院的中风患者,随机分为治疗组６１例和对照组５５例。对照组中风患者单纯用药物治疗,而治疗组中风患者在药物治疗基础上,还采用头针、体针、推拿及功能锻炼等方法配合西医治疗。结果：治疗组总有效率（８２％）与对照组总有效率（６４％）比较,有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０５）。治疗组治疗前后、治疗组治疗后与对照组治疗后的神经功能缺损积分值比较,均有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结论：治疗组比对照组效果显著。     

中药针刺及针药结合治疗脑卒中偏瘫的疗效对比观察

对比观察中药、针刺及针药结合３种疗法的疗效,３８０例脑卒中偏瘫患者随机分为中药组、针刺组及针药组,均经过３个疗程的治疗后,采用Ｒｉｄｉｔ检验平均Ｒ值。结果：中药组疗效明显差于针刺组（Ｐ〈０．００１）。针药组明显优于针刺组（Ｐ〈０．０１）。提示：针药结合治疗脑卒中偏瘫能明显提高疗效。病程长短与疗效有密切关系。及早采取有效的治疗措施,可最大限度的防止残障的发生。     

Acupuncture

Worldwide, acupuncture is integral to everyday medical practice. In recent decades its practice has gained popularity in the United States. With increasing evidence of its clinical efficacy, acupuncture is now a widely practiced treatment modality in complementary and integrative medicine. According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey, an estimated 3.1 million US adults and 150,000 children had acupuncture in the previous year. The National Health Interview Survey also estimated that between 2002 and 2007, acupuncture use among adults increased by approximately 1 million people. Patients want more information from their clinicians about the use of acupuncture and its safety and efficacy. Although many clinicians may recommend acupuncture, they often believe they are not sufficiently informed to discuss acupuncture with their patients. This article provides answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding acupuncture.     

Acupuncture

With the increasing availability of acupuncture in the United States, it is possible that patients will increasingly seek and use acupuncture for diverse indications. Research into acupuncture is still in its infancy, and much of the scientific evidence surrounding it is fragmentary and often contradictory. As is the case even in well-researched therapies, physicians often have to make decisions about patient care based on a mixture of available scientific evidence, anecdote, and patient preference. As investigations into this therapy continue, and patients, practitioners, and the medical system become more familiar with its integration into mainstream medical treatment settings [108], the role of acupuncture in the treatment of disease will become clearer.
