Effect of acupuncture of “twelve hand and foot acupoints” combined with neural mobilization on limb motor function in patients with cerebral infarction hemiplegia of qi-deficiency and blood-stasis type
To observe the effect of acupuncture of “12 hand and foot acupoints” (in fact “12 acupoints at the hands and four limbs”) combined with neural mobilization intervention [a manual treatment method that directly applies force to some related nerve tissue through the placement and movement of multiple joints] on the limb motor function and quality of life in patients with cerebral infarction (CI) hemiplegia of
qi
-deficiency and blood-stasis type. Methods Ninety-eight patients with CI hemiplegia of
qi
-deficiency and blood-stasis type who were admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into a neural mobilization group (
n
=49) and a combination (acupuncture plus neural mobilization) group (
n
=49) using a random number table method. All patients underwent basic treatment and rehabilitation training,
and those of the neural mobilization group received various manipulations at different portions of the body related to the innervation of radial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerve, sciatic nerve, common peroneal nerve, tibial nerve and femoral nerve through the placement and movement of multiple joints. The patients of the combination group received manual acupuncture stimulation of twelve acupoints (including bilateral Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), Quchi (LI11), Yanglingquan (GB34), Zusanli (ST36) and Sanyinjiao (SP6)) of the hand and limbs (with the acupuncture needles retained for 30 min in every session of treatment) on the basis of the neural mobilization. The treatment was conducted once daily, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The score of
qi
-deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome was given according to “quantitative scoring scale for
qi
-deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome”. The limb motor function was assessed using Fugl-Meyer assessment scale (FMA). The blood plasma viscosity and fibrinogen levels were detected using a blood rheology analyzer. The score of quality of life was assessed using the stroke-specific quality of life scale (SS-QOL).
Results
2
After 4 weeks of treatment, the score of
qi-
deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome, CSS score, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen levels were significantly lower in both groups than pre-treatment (
P
<
0.05), and those of the combination group were obviously lower than those of the simple neural mobilization group (
P
<
0.05). The FMA scores of the upper and lower limbs and SS-QOL score were considerably increased in both groups compared with pre-treatment (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01), and those of the combination group were strikingly higher than those of the neural mobilization group (
P
<
0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture of “twelve hand and foot acupoints” combined with neural mobilization can effectively regulate bloo
d rheology, improve symptoms and limb motor function, and raise the quality of life in patients with hemiplegia of qi-deficiency and blood-stasis type.
