摘要

目的

观察针刺治疗脑梗死后血管性认知障碍的临床疗效。

方法

纳入研究的90 例患者随机分为两组, 即观察组和对照组, 两组均按常规进行偏瘫肢体康复训练及认知功能训练。观察组特殊针刺手法, 对照组采用常规电针治疗, 两组疗程均为4 星期。 治疗前后运用简明精神状态量表(Mini-Mental State Examination, MMSE)、 画钟试验(Clock Drawing Test, CDT)、 延迟故事回忆(Delayed Story Recall, DSR)、 功能活动问卷(FAQ)进行测评, 对评分结果进行对比分析。

结果

观察组评分与自身治疗前差异有统计学意义(P<0.05), 且治疗后观察组与对照组差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。

结论

所采用的特殊针法对血管性认知障碍的临床疗效优于电针疗法。

Abstract

Objective

To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for vascular cognitive disorder following a cerebral infarction.

Methods

A total of 90 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group. In addition to the cognitive training and the routine rehabilitation exercise for the paralyzed limb, special needling techniques were employed in the observation group, versus electroacupuncture in the control group. After a session of 4-week treatment, the outcomes were assessed and analyzed using mini-mental state examination (MMSE), clock drawing test (CDT), delayed story recall (DSR) and functional ability questionnaire (FAQ).

Results

There were statistical significances (P<0.05) in the scores between before and after treatment in the observation group. Also, there were statistical significances (P<0.05) between the observation group and the control group after the treatment.

Conclusion

The special needling method in this study could obtain better therapeutic efficacy than electroacupuncture for vascular cognitive disorder.
