Abstract
Objective—To observe and compare the efficacy differences between combined Jin’s three-needle and rehabilitation training and rehabilitation training alone for hemiplegia following an ischemic stroke. Methods—A total of 94 cases who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into an observation group using combined Jin’s three-needle and rehabilitation training and a control group using rehabilitation training alone. The therapeutic efficacies were then assessed respectively before treatment, 14 d and 28 d after treatment using neurological deficient scale (NDS) and short-form Fugl-Meyer assessment (SFFMA) scale. Results—After treatment, the NDS and SFFMA scores in both groups were significantly improved (P<0.05); after 28-day treatment, the inter-group comparison showed a statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion—Combined Jin’s three-needle and rehabilitation training and rehabilitation training alone can both enhance the nerve function recovery of patients with post-stroke hemiplegia and improve their motor function; however, the former could obtain better effects than the latter.
