Abstract: Objective: To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture combined with warmingneedle moxibustion in adjuvant treatment of stroke-induced hemiplegia. Methods:A total of 130 cases of patients with stroke-induced hemiplegia were selected and divided into the warming-needle moxibustion group and the electroacupuncture group by random number table method, with 65 cases in each group. Both groups were given routine treatment including medicines for regulating lipids and inhibiting platelet aggregation and rehabilitation training. The electroacupuncture group was only treated with electroacupuncture,and the warming- needle moxibustion group was additionally treated with warmingneedle moxibustion based on the treatment of electroacupuncture. Both groups were treated for 5 consecutive days every week for a total of 6 weeks. The affected side limb function (Fugl- Meyer scores), degree of neurological impairment [National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores],activities of daily living (Barthel indexes) and quality of life [36- Item Short Form Health Survey (SF- 36) scores] before and after treatment were evaluated. The clinical effects in the two groups were compared. The adverse reactions of the two groups during treatment were observed. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate was 84.62% in the warming-needle moxibustion group,higher than that of 69.23% in the electroacupuncture group (P<0.05). The Fugl- Meyer scores of upper and lower limbs as well as the total scores in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05),and the above scores in the warming- needle moxibustion group were higher than those in the electroacupuncture group (P<0.05). NIHSS scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and Barthel indexes and SF- 36 scores were increased when compared with those before treatment (P< 0.05); NIHSS score in the warming- needle moxibustion group was lower than that in the electroacupuncture group (P<0.05), and Barthel index and SF- 36 score were higher than those in the electroacupuncture group (P<0.05). During the treatment period,one case of mild subcutaneous redness and swelling occurred in the warming- needle moxibustion group,and the symptoms subsided after cold compresses, and no significant adverse effects were observed in the electroacupuncture group. Conclusion:Based on routine medication and rehabilitation training,the application of electroacupuncture combined with warming- needle moxibustion for stroke- induced hemiplegia has a better effect than only use electroacupuncture,which can effectively improve the spasm,motor function and nerve function of patients and enhance their quality of life,with high safety.
