Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of Fu’s subcutaneous needling plus electroacupuncture on post-stroke spastic hemiplegia. Methods: A hundred and twenty patients with post-stroke spastic hemiplegia were divided into the treatment group and the control group randomly, 60 individuals in each group. Patients in the treatment group received Fu’s subcutaneous needling plus electroacupuncture treatments, while only elecroacupuncture treatment for those in the control group. Limbs spasticity, extremity motor function and activity of daily living (ADL) was respectively evaluated with Ashworth scale, simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function score and modified Barthel index (BI) before treatment and after 30-day treatment. Results: After treatment, Ashworth scale score, Fugl-Meyer motor function score and BI score in the treatment group were much higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Fu’s subcutaneous needling plus electroacupuncture can release spastic hemiplegia, and it is better than the control group. Conclusion: Fu’s subcutaneous needling plus electroacupuncture can release post-stroke spastic hemiplegia effectively.
