简要总结
Stroke is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the world. Patients with stroke often have sequelae and functional disorders of varying degrees, among which the disturbance of consciousness has the greatest impact on prognosis and quality of life.At present, drug therapy, neurosurgical interventional therapy and modern physical therapy are mainly used for post-stroke consciousness disorders. The above therapies to improve the state of consciousness of patients are not supported by sufficient evidence-based evidence, and the other is that they have shortcomings, such as invasive, expensive, and strict indications. Acupuncture has been used in the treatment of sequelae of stroke for thousands of years in China. Tongyuan acupuncture is a set of traditional Chinese medicine therapy pioneered by Professor Lai Xinsheng, a famous doctor of Chinese medicine. A large number of previous studies have proved that Tongyuan acupuncture has a unique effect on the cardiovascular system, gynecology, ent, neurology and other functional disorders. In this study, Tongyuan acupuncture was used in patients with post-stroke consciousness disorder to observe its efficacy and explore the mechanism of action. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Tongyuan acupuncture can improve the consciousness disorder after stroke, and to provide a new safe, effective, feasible and easy to popularize treatment method.
详细描述
This study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind study. Approximately 174 people will participate in the study at the medical facility. Patients with post-stroke consciousness disorder hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of Nanfang Hospital, Guangzhou, China, were randomly included into the experimental group and the control group, and the experimental group was treated with Tongyuan needle acupuncture on the basis of routine rehabilitation therapy and drug therapy. Experimental group selected points: baihui, zhongwan, guanyuan, qihai, tianshu (double).The control group was treated with 1cm acupuncture at the same depth beside the selected points of the experimental group. Before intervention, treatment for 1 week, treatment for 2 weeks, treatment for 3 weeks, and treatment for 4 weeks (after completion), follow-up: Glasgow coma score, Modified Coma Recovery Scale（CRS-R scale） were performed 4 weeks after discharge to assess the conscious state of the patients, and electroencephalogram（EEG）, brainstem evoked potential and Encephalofluctuography were examined before intervention and 4 weeks after treatment. The baseline data of the experimental group and the control group showed no statistical difference through statistical analysis. Conventional rehabilitation treatment and drug treatment were adopted by the current guidelines, and the distribution of cases in the two groups was also random.

研究组 & 干预措施
Tongyuan acupuncture
Point selection of Tongyuan acupuncture group: baihui, zhongwan, guanyuan, qihai, tianshu (double).The method of lifting, inserting and twisting was used once a day, 5 days a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Twenty days in total. Consciousness levels were assessed before intervention, at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of treatment, and 4 weeks after discharge.
干预措施: Acupuncture with regulating immunity as the core of treatment (Device)
Sham acupoint acupuncture
In the sham-acupoint group, acupuncture treatment was carried out 1cm beside the selected points of the experimental group, once a day, 5 days a week, for 4 consecutive weeks. Twenty days in total. Consciousness levels were assessed before intervention, at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks of treatment, and 4 weeks after discharge.
干预措施: Needles that are not on acupoints (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
gcs score
时间窗: 4 weeks
The Glasgow coma scale has a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 15, with higher scores representing better consciousness.Valid criteria for GCS score: Consciousness improvement rate of each patient = (GCS score after treatment - GCS score before treatment)/GCS score before treatment ×100% Consciousness improvement rate ≥20% is effective, 15%≤ consciousness improvement rate \< 20% is effective, and consciousness improvement rate \< 15% is ineffective.
次要结局
- CRS-R Scale(4 weeks)
