To assess the clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine for removing blood stasis combined with acupuncture in the treatment of sequelae of cerebral infarction.
Ninety patients with cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from April 2018 to April 2020 were enrolled and equally allocated to an experimental group and a control group. The control group was treated with aspirin, and the experimental group was treated with Chinese herbal medicine for removing blood stasis combined with acupuncture. The recovery of the ability of daily living (ADL), recovery of hemiplegic limb function, blood viscosity, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and quality of life were evaluated.
After treatment, the ADL of patients in the two groups witnessed a remarkable recovery, with superior results in the experimental group than the control group ( < 0.05). The hemiplegic limb recovery of the experimental group was observed to be significantly improved when compared with the control group ( < 0.05). Remarkably lower blood viscosity-related indexes of TC and TG of the experimental group compared to the control group were identified ( < 0.05). As to the total remission rate (TRR), the experimental group demonstrated a higher level than the control group ( < 0.05). The scores of quality of life of patients in the experimental group after treatment were evidently higher than those of the control group ( < 0.05).
Chinese herbal medicine for removing blood stasis combined with acupuncture treatment can better improve the hemiplegic limb function and the quality of life, and reduce blood viscosity of patients with sequelae of cerebral infarction.
评估活血化瘀中药联合针灸治疗脑梗死后遗症的临床疗效。
选取2018年4月至2020年4月我院收治的90例脑梗死患者，随机分为实验组和对照组，每组45例。对照组采用阿司匹林治疗，实验组采用活血化瘀中药联合针灸治疗。评估两组患者日常生活活动能力（ADL）恢复情况、偏瘫肢体功能恢复情况、血液黏度、总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）及生活质量。
治疗后，两组患者ADL均显著恢复，且实验组优于对照组（P<0.05）。与对照组相比，实验组偏瘫肢体恢复情况明显改善（P<0.05）。实验组血液黏度相关指标TC、TG均显著低于对照组（P<0.05）。实验组总缓解率高于对照组（P<0.05）。治疗后实验组患者生活质量评分明显高于对照组（P<0.05）。
活血化瘀中药联合针灸治疗能更好地改善脑梗死后遗症患者的偏瘫肢体功能和生活质量，降低血液黏度。
