ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of electroacupuncture combined with personalized pleasure factor on the rehabilitation of patients with poststroke depression.Methods 120 patients with poststroke depression were selected and randomly divided into two groups.60 patients in the observation group were given electroacupuncture plus individualized pleasure factor intervention,while 60 patients in the control group were given electroacupuncture only.The duration of treatment in both two groups was 3 months.The self-rating depression scale(SDS) of the two groups was compared before and after treatment.The quality of life before and after the intervention was assessed by the SF-36 health questionnaire.The limb function evaluation criteria were used to evaluate the linb motor function.The ability for living was assessed by activity of daily living scale(ADL).The cognitive function of the patients before and after the treatment was evaluated by the MMSE (Simple Mental State Examination).Results After treatment,the SDS score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (t =3.043,P =0.034).After 6 months of treatment,the overall health of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group (t =3.236,P =0.032),the cognitive function of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group(t =3.133,P =0.036).In the observation group,the fully independent ratio of ADL of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =14.252,P =0.000).Conclusion It has great clinical significance to improve the daily living ability,limb function and cognitive function of patients with poststroke depression by electroacupuncture combined with individualized pleasure factor input,and improve the patients'depression and quality of life.
