摘要
目的
探索一种治疗血맜性痴呆的方法。
方法
60 例血맜性痴呆患者随机分为两组。 针刺组用头针久留针法; 西药组用药物疗法。 同时, 应用长谷川痴呆修改量表(HDS)、 神经功能缺损(NFD)评分表、 主要症状观察(MS)评分表, 分别于治疗前后进行评分。
结果
治疗前后两组HDS、 NFD、 MS评分改变差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01); 治疗前后两组HDS、 NFD、 MS评分差值之差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。 针刺组总有效率为 86.8%, 西药组总有效率为 80.0%, 两组疗效比较差异有统计学意义 (P<0.05)。
结论
头皮久留针法对于血맜性痴呆患者具有确切疗效。
Abstract
Objective
To explore a treatment method for vascular dementia.
Methods
Sixty patients were randomly allocated into two groups. The observation group was treated with long-term needle-retaining method of scalp acupuncture and the control group was treated by medications. Evaluation was made respectively before and after the treatment by means of Hasegawa dementia scale (HDS), neurological function deficit (NFD) score and main symptom (MS) score.
Results
There were statistically significant differences in HDS, NFD score and MS score in both groups (P<0.01) before and after the treatment. There were statistically significant differences in HDS, NFD score and MS score between the two groups (P<0.05) before and after the treatment. The total effective rate was 86.8% in the observation group and 80.0% in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the effects between the two groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion
This long-term needle-retaining method of scalp acupuncture is precisely effective for vascular dementia.
