Effect of Comprehensive Nursing Measures of Chinese Medicine on Cognitive Function and Motor Function of Patients After Operation for Traumatic Brain Injury
Abstract: Objective: To observe the effect of comprehensive nursing measures of Chinese medicine on cognitive function and motor function of patients after operation for traumaticbrain injury. Methods:A total of 96 cases of patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,48 cases in each group. The control group was given oral administration of oxiracetam capsules, rehabilitation training, psychological nursing, complications prevention and rehabilitation nursing guidance; the observation group was additionally given comprehensive nursing measures of Chinese medicine including emotional nursing, point injection with Chinese herbal medicine and point massage based on the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for four weeks. Before and after treatment,the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),Mini-Mental Status Exam(MMSE), Activities of Daily Living(ADL),Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Functional Independence Measure(FIM) in the two groups were observed and compared. Results: After treatment,the scores of MoCA and MMSE in the two groups were significantly increased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05);the above scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment,the ADL scores in the two groups were significantly decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05), and the FMA scores were significantly increased(P<0.05); the improvement of the scores of ADL and FMA in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment,the scores of cognitive function and motor function as well as the total scores of FIM in the two groups were significantly increased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05);the above scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment, the comparison of FIM classification between the two groups showed significance in the difference(P<0.05),and the classification in the observation group was better than that in the control group. Conclusion:Based on routine treatment and nursing, the comprehensive nursing measures of Chinese medicine can significantly improve cognitive function,motor function,activity of daily living and independent living ability of patients after operation for traumatic brain injury.
