碩士 / 中國醫藥大學 / 中西醫結合研究所碩士班 / 98 / Stroke is one of the leading three causes of death in the world and Taiwan. Around 13000 persons died every year in Taiwan. Not only is the high number of deaths in Taiwan, at the same time it lead to physical and mental torture on patients and their families, as well as a heavy burden on the economy. According to Huangdi Neijing and clinical literatures, acupuncture can improve the functional outcomes and life quality after stroke. Acupuncture is also known to influence autonomic nervous activity.
A prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned to the electroacupuncture(EA) group and sham electroacupuncture group. All received conventional medical treatment. EA or sham EA was applied additionally from 72 hours after patients'' vital signs had been stabilized. Zusanli (St 36) and shangjuxu(St37) were stimulated with EA or sham EA(placebo stimulation). HRV, physical signs and TCD were recorded in all patients before and after electroacupuncture. These data are compared between different groups. The results shows that electroacupunctures on bilateral St36 and St37 did not significantly change the body temperature, blood pressure, middle cerebral artery mean velocity and pulsatility index in acute hemorrhagic stroke patients. After consecutive three-day electroacupunctures, HF, RMSSD and PNN50 increase compared with the baseline. We propose that electroacupuncture can enhance the parasympathetic activity in acute hemorrhagic stroke patients.
