Needle retaining after electroacupuncture combined with cognitive training for post-stroke cognitive impairment: a multi-center randomized controlled trial
To compare the efficacy of needle retaining after electroacupuncture combined with cognitive training and electroacupuncture combined with cognitive training in the treatment of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).
Methods
2
A total of 206 patients with PSCI were randomized into a needle retaining group (103 cases
9 cases dropped out) and an electroacupuncture group (103 cases
6 cases dropped out). In addition to the conventional basic medical treatment and the rehabilitation treatment
in the needle retaining group
electroacupuncture at Shenting (GV 24) and Baihui (GV 20) was applied
with continuous wave of 50 Hz in the first 15 min and with disperse-dense wave of 2 Hz/50 Hz in the last 15 min
the needles were continuously retained for 1 h after electroacupuncture
during which cognitive training was adopted; in the electroacupuncture group
cognitive training was performed after the same electric stimulation exerted for 30 min
without additional needles retaining. The treatment was given once a day
5 times a week for totally 8 weeks in the two groups. Before and after 8-week treatment
the TCM syndrome score was observed; before and after 4
8-week treatment
the scores of mini-mental state examination (MMSE)
Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and ability of daily living were observed in the two groups. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated after 8-week treatment.
Results
2
After 8-week treatment
the TCM syndrome scores were increased compared with those before treatment in both groups (
P
<
0.05); the TCM syndrome score in the needle retaining group was higher than that in the electroacupuncture group (
P
<
0.05).After 4
8-week treatment
the scores of MMSE
MoCA and ability of daily living were increased compared with those before treatment in both groups (
P
<
0.05); MMSE
MoCA scores after 4
8-week treatment and ability of daily living score after 8-week treatment in the needle retaining group were higher than those in the electroacupuncture group (
P
<
0.05). The total effective rate was 90.4% (85/94) in the needle retaining group
which was superior to 82.5% (80/97) in the electroacupuncture group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Both needle retaining after electroacupuncture combined with cognitive training and electroacupuncture combined with cognitive training can effectively treat PSCI
improve the clinical symptom
cognitive function and ability of daily living in PSCI patients. Needle retaining after electroacupuncture combined with cognitive training has a better therapeutic effect.
