| Abstract: | Objective: To evaluate the acupuncture effects on the essential hypertension merger cerebral infarction by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.Methods: A total of 106 inpatients with essential hypertension merger cerebral infarction were randomly divided into two groups, 53 cases in each group.On consciousness-restoring obstructionclearing needing technique basis, the experimental group accepted acupuncture treatment combined with Western medicine drugs while the control group took Western medicine drugs step-down only.Two groups of patients before and after treatment received 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.We collected blood pressure mean, blood pressure standard deviation, blood pressure circadian rhythms, pulse pressure and morning blood pressure for comparative analysis before and after the treatment.The investigated data were analyzed in statistics with SPSS 11.5 software.Results: After treatment, in comparison between the two groups, 24-hour and daytime systolic blood pressure, 24-hour systolic blood pressure variation, blood pressure circadian rhythms, dynamic pulse pressure, and morning section systolic pressure had significant differences.Conclusion: Treatment in both groups could smoothly lower blood pressure value and the antihypertensive effect of the experimental group was better.In reducing blood pressure variation, improving blood pressure circadian rhythms and reducing pulse pressure, the experimental group also had obvious curative effect, indicating that acupuncture treatment combined with Western medicine reduced blood pressure value effectively and it might be helpful for the protection of target organs. |
