Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Stroke

• Registration Number: NCT07119632
• Lead Sponsor: Jiangen Ye

Brief Summary

At present, domestic scholars have applied medicine stick therapy and repetitive facial exercise (RFE) to the rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients, but there are few relevant literature reports on medicine stick therapy combined with RFE and show the differences in the effects of the two different treatment methods. To this end, this study intends to follow up the effects and effects of drug stick therapy and its combined effect with RFE on the recovery of lower limb motor function in patients after stroke, and follow up the patients' limb motor function, daily life activity ability, quality of life, balance function, etc.

To this end, this study intends to follow up the effects and effects of drug stick therapy and its combined effect with RFE on the recovery of lower limb motor function in patients after stroke, and follow up the patients' limb motor function, daily life activity ability, quality of life, balance function, etc.; use the Fugl-Meyer motor function evaluation scale, Barthel index, Brunnstrom grading, Holden walking function and other scales to conduct multi-angle evaluation of stroke patients, combine traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation with Western medicine rehabilitation treatment, combine these two different treatment technologies, give full play to their respective advantages and integrated effects to verify. The specific research content includes: participant recruitment and screening, random grouping design, baseline evaluation, treatment intervention, post-treatment evaluation, data statistics and analysis. This study aims to explore the feasibility and advantages of the combined application of drug stick therapy combined with RFE to provide more effective treatment methods for rehabilitation of stroke patients.
