Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of mind-regulating and meridian-unblocking acupuncture and its effect on blood lipids in treating cerebral infarction.Method One hundred and sixteen patients with cerebral infarction were randomly allocated to treatment(mind-regulating and meridian-unblocking acupuncture) and control(conventional acupuncture) groups.The therapeutic effect and changes in blood lipids were observed in the two groups.Result The symptoms and signs improved significantly and recovery from neural deficits and physical disabilities was promoted in both groups of cerebral infarction patients after 4 weeks of treatment.The marked efficacy rate was 85.0% in the treatment group,which was significantly higher than 73.2% in the control group.The total efficacy rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group(P0.05).There was no obvious adverse reaction in the treatment group.After treatment,blood lipid levels were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P0.05,P0.01).Conclusions Mind-regulating and meridian-unblocking acupuncture can markedly improve the symptoms of and blood lipid metabolic disturbance in cerebral infarction.It is a safe,effective and convenient way to treat acute cerebral infarction.
