The authors treated 40 cases of shoulder-hand syndrome of apoplexy hemiplegia with electro-acupuncture (EA) and filiform needle acupuncture (FNA) respectively. The results showed that EA had better results in treating hand back swelling, hand skin temperature elevating and the bending finger caused pain than that with FNA (P < 0.05). The finger joint and shoulder joint improvement (the functional scoring increased for 3 points or more) in EA was also better than that of FNA (P < 0.05). The total marked effective rate was higher in EA group (75%) than that in FNA (50%), P < 0.05). It suggested that EA produced rhythmic muscle contraction which had a "shoulder-hand pump" like action, and is significant in eliminating hand back swelling and preventing atrophy of hand muscles.
作者分别采用电针和毫针针刺治疗40例中风偏瘫肩手综合征患者。结果显示，在治疗手背肿胀、手部皮肤温度升高及屈指疼痛方面，电针治疗效果优于毫针针刺（P<0.05）。电针治疗在手指关节和肩关节改善方面（功能评分提高3分及以上）也优于毫针针刺（P<0.05）。电针组总显效率（75%）高于毫针针刺组（50%），P<0.05。提示电针产生的节律性肌肉收缩具有“肩手泵”样作用，对消除手背肿胀及预防手部肌肉萎缩有显著意义。
