摘要
痉挛是中风的主要并发症之一。这项双盲、随机对照试验旨在比较中风后幸存者上肢受影响的三个疗程的干针(DN)和假DN的结果。我们招募了24例患者(年龄57.0±9.6岁;男性的71%)。患者被随机分为两组:DN组和假性DN组。主要评价指标为改良改良Ashworth量表(MMAS)和Box and Block Test (BBT)。次要结果测量包括主动和被动手腕活动范围(AROM和PROM)。所有的评估都是在基线、最后一次干预后立即和一个月后进行的。与对照组相比,DN组患者上肢痉挛和被动腕关节活动度改善(P < 0.05)。其他结局指标组间差异无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。干针是改善中风患者上肢肌肉痉挛的一种有效方法。
A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial for the Effects of Dry Needling on Upper Limb Dysfunction in Patients with Stroke
Spasticity is one of the main complications of a stroke. This double-blind, randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the result of three sessions of dry needling (DN) versus sham DN on the affected upper limbs in post-stroke survivors. We recruited 24 patients (age 57.0 ±
9.6 years; male 71%). Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: a DN group and a sham DN group. The primary outcome measures were the Modified Modified Ashworth Scale (MMAS) and the Box and Block Test (BBT). Secondary outcome measures included active and passive wrist range of motion
(AROM and PROM). All assessments were measured at baseline, immediately after the last session of the intervention, and one month later. Patients in the DN group had improved upper limb spasticity and passive wrist range of motion compared to control group (P < 0.05). There were
no between-group differences in other outcome measures (P > 0.05). Dry needling is a useful method for improving muscle spasticity in the upper limbs of patients with stroke.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and promotion of basic and clinical research in acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, and related fields. The journal was established in order to make acupuncture and electro-therapeutics a universally acceptable branch of medicine through multidisciplinary research based on scientific disciplines. The final goal is to provide a better understanding of both the beneficial and adverse effects of these treatments in order to supplement or improve existing methods of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in both Western and Oriental medicine.
