Effect of Three-stage Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation on Neurological and Motor Function in Patients with Cerebral Ischemic Stroke
Abstract： Objective To explore the effect of three-stage Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) rehabilitation on neurological function and motor function in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke. Methods 100 patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke were randomly divid-ed into experimental group (n=50) and control group (n=50). The three-stage TCM synthesis rehabilitation was used in the experimental group;the 2-week western medicine rehabilitation was used in the control group. The scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) were evaluated. Results There was no significance in the scores of NIHSS and FMA between both groups before and 4 weeks after treatment (P>0.05). The score of NIHSS was lower (P<0.01), and the score of FMA was higher (P<0.05) in the experimental group than in the control group in the 12th week. Conclusion Three-stage TCM synthesis rehabilitation can facili-tate the recovery of neurological and motor function of patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke.
