Effect of Acupuncturing Du Meridian as A Main Therapy on Serum C-reaction protein in the Patient of Acute Cerebral Infarction

Objective:To observe effects of acupuncturing the Du meridian as a main therapy on serum C-reaction protein in the patient of acute cerebral infarction.Methods:Eighty patients with cerebral infarction were divided into acupuncturing the Du meridian as a main therapy group(A group),conventional acupuncture group(B group),simple medicine group (C group),the level of serum CRP and neural deficit score was measured by scatter immune turbidity method before and after treatment.Results:The level of serum CRP and neural deficit score decreased in three groups after treatment.There was a statistically significant difference compared with pretreatment in three groups(P0.01),There was a statistically significant difference between A group、B group and C group after treatment(P0.01,P0.05),There was a statistically significant difference between A group and B group(P0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncturing the Du meridian as a main therapy can significantly decrease the level of serum CRP in patients of ACI.It can play an important role in improving nerve function damage degree and decreasing the inflammatory reaction.
