简要总结
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of different needling strategies with moxibustion needles on upper limb function in post-stroke patients. Method: 105 patients with upper limb dysfunction after stroke were randomly divided into an extensor treatment group, a flexor treatment group, and a control group, with 35 patients in each group. Patients in the extensor treatment group were treated with extensor group moxibustion, patients in the flexor treatment group were treated with flexor group moxibustion, and patients in the control group were treated with conventional moxibustion. Observe the upper limb movement trajectory, surface electromyographic signals (sEMG) of extensor and flexor muscle groups, MAS scale scores, and FMA-UE scores of two groups of patients under specific tasks detected by a three-dimensional motion capture system before and after treatment, and determine the clinical efficacy. Result: Moxibustion therapy with moxibustion is helpful in improving upper limb dysfunction in stroke patients, safe and reliable, and worthy of application. The efficacy of needling the flexor muscle group with moxibustion is better than that of needling the extensor muscle group and conventional acupuncture, providing certain evidence and guidance for the selection of moxibustion sites in clinical practice.
详细描述
105 patients with upper limb dysfunction after stroke were selected according to the inclusion criteria and randomly divided into an extensor treatment group, a flexor treatment group, and a control group of 35 cases each. The patients in the extensor treatment group were treated with routine rehabilitation training+routine acupuncture and moxibustion+millifire needle acupuncture for the extensor muscle group (triceps brachii, forearm extensor muscle group), the patients in the flexor treatment group were treated with routine rehabilitation training+routine acupuncture and moxibustion+millifire needle acupuncture for the flexor muscle group (biceps brachii, forearm flexor muscle group), and the patients in the control group were treated with routine rehabilitation training+routine acupuncture and moxibustion+routine millifire needle acupuncture. The treatment was administered once every other day with a moxibustion needle for a total of 4 weeks. Observe the upper limb movement trajectory, surface electromyographic signals (sEMG) of extensor and flexor muscle groups, changes in MAS scale scores, and FMA-UE scores of two groups of patients under specific tasks detected by a three-dimensional motion capture system before, after one treatment, and after 4 weeks of treatment. Calculate joint angles and motion distances through spatial coordinates, and apply RMS MF、CC、 Coherence analysis quantifies muscle strength, muscle tension, fatigue, and coordination.
