Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of scalp point-through-point electroacupuncture plus motor relearning programme in treating ischemic stroke.Methods:Eighty patients with ischemic stroke were randomly divided into observation group and control group (n=40 each).Both groups were given motor relearning programme treatment.The observation group received scalp point-through-point electroacupuncture additionally.The clinical efficacy was evaluated before and after therapy by using simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment (FMA),functional ambulation category (FAC),and the modified Barthel index (MBI).Results:After treatment for 6 weeks,the indexes of FMA,FAC and MBI in the two groups were significantly increased as compared with those before therapy (P<0.01),more obviously in observation group (P<0.05,or <0.01).Conclusion:Scalp point-through-point electroacupuncture plus motor relearning programme for patients with ischemic stroke can effectively improve the motor function and walking ability. |
