Abstract：Objective:To explore the effects of the Mang needle yin-yang penetration method combined with Yiqi Huayu decoction in the treatment of post-stroke limb spasms and its impact on apoptosis related indicators.Methods:A total of 86 patients with post-stroke limb spasticity admitted in the Second People's Hospital of Zhenping County from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected and divided into a study group and a control group using the case number envelope drawing method,with 43 cases in each group.The patients in the control group received routine rehabilitation training,while patients in the study group received the Mang needle yin-yang penetration acupuncture method combined with Yiqi Huayu decoction treatment.The limb function,neurological function,living ability,neurotransmitters,and apoptosis related indicators of the two groups were compared.Results:After treatment,the scores of Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale(FMA)and Berg Balance Scale(BBS)in the study group were higher than these in the control group,while the Composite Spasticity Scale(CSS)in the study group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Compared with the control group,National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)in the study group was lower,while the Barthel index was higher,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Compared with the control group,the levels of glycine(Gly)and gamma aminobutyric acid(GABA)in the study group were higher,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Compared with the control group,the scores of cysteine containing aspartic protease(Caspase-3),fatty acid synthase(Fas),Fas ligand(FasL)in the study group were lower,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion:Patients with limb spasticity after stroke can improve limb and nerve function,regulate neurotransmitters,inhibit brain cell apoptosis,and enhance their ability to live by receiving the Mang needle yin-yang penetration acupuncture method combined with Yiqi Huayu decoction.
