ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the effects of Jin's Three-needle Acupuncture combined with occupational therapy on function of upper limbs for stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods 90 patients with stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=30), observation group (n=30) and experiment group (n=30). The control group received routine rehabilitation, the observation group received occupational therapy in addition, and the experiment group received Jin's Three-needle Acupuncture and occupational therapy in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of upper limbs and Barthel index (BI) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results The scores of FMA and BI improved in all the groups after treatment (P<0.001). The difference of scores of FMA and BI before and after treatment were more in the experiment group than in the observation group (P<0.001), observation group than the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Jin's Three-needle Acupuncture combined with occupational therapy can further improve the motor function of upper limbs and activities of daily living for stroke patients with hemiplegia.
