ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at cranial sutures plus rehabilitation training in treating post-stroke spastic palsy.Method Sixty patients with post-stroke spastic palsy were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases each. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at cranial sutures plus rehabilitation training, while the control group was intervened by rehabilitation training alone. The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and activities of daily living (ADL) in the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were observed before and after the treatment for the two groups.Result After the intervention, there was a significant difference in MAS score between the two groups (P<0.05). The FMA and ADL scores were changed significantly after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05). The FMA and ADL scores in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group after the treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at cranial sutures plus rehabilitation is an effective approach in treating post-stroke spastic palsy.
