ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the preventive effects of electroacupuncture therapy on glenohumeral subluxation(GHS)in patients of cerebral stroke of super-early period. Methods A total of 160 cases with cerebral stroke were randomly recruited into a control group of 80 cases and a treatment group of 80 cases. The control group was treated with conventional medicine and rehabilitation training, while the treatment group was given electro-acupuncture therapy based on conventional medicine and rehabilitation training. All treatments were performed once in each day, and one treatment course lasted for ten days. The preventive effect was evaluated after the successive three courses. Results 4 cases in treatment group and 2 cases in control group quitted in therapeutic process. The GHS incidence rate in the third course of treatment group was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). The severe GHS incidence rate of treatment group was significantly lower than control group in the second course (P<0.05)and the third course (P<0.01). The GHS scale of the treatment group showed no significant difference in all three courses (P>0.05), while the control group showed significant difference in one course of all three(P<0.05). Conclusion Electro-acupuncture therapy can significantly decrease GHS incidence rate, relieve pathogenetic condition, control its progress, and so thus prevent GHS of stroke patients in super-early period.
