Methods: in this hospital, patients with stroke sequelae hospitalized from January 2021 to December 2021 were divided into two groups, including 40 cases as the control group and 40 cases as the control group, which underwent rehabilitation using pentatone therapy. Results: compared with the control group, the scores of SAS and SDS scales were significantly lower;Scores on the SF-36 were higher than in the control group;The NIHSS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, the Fugl Meyer score was higher than that of the control group, and the Barthel index was higher than that of the control group;Lower PSQI score than control group, P < 0.05;In terms of satisfaction, the study group had a higher rating of the nurses satisfaction with their work, P < 0.05;Conclusion: in the clinical care of patients with post-stroke disabilities, the five sound therapy combined with rehabilitation care can effectively improve their neurological and limb functions, alleviate their negative emotions and improve their quality of survival.展开更多

Method:A total of 251 stroke patients were randomly divided into a standardized rehabilitation group and a control group. The simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA) scale, the 36-item short-form health survey questionnaire (SF-36) and functional comprehensive assessment (FCA) were administered before as well as after 3, 6 and at 12 months a follow-up study respectively. Statistical analysis was conducted based on the evaluations at 4 testing time points. Result:There was no significant difference in FMA,SF-36 and FCA scores of the two groups before and after 3 months treatments, while FMA,SF-36 and FCA scores of the rehabilitation group were obviously higher than those of the control group either after 6 months treatments or of followup study. Moreover, after 6 months treatments FMA score was apparently higher than the score at the beginning and after 3 months treatments. The FMA, SF36 and FAC scores during the followup visit decreased when compared with scores after 6 months treatments, but increased significantly when compared with the scores at the beginning and after 3 months treatments. Conclusion:Standardized tertiary rehabilitation (STR) at convalescence and sequelae stages can significantly improve motor functions and QOL of stroke patients.展开更多

Stroke is among the diseases with the highest mortality and disability rates among the elderly in China. BDNF plays an important role in the development and functional maintenance of the nervous system. In recent years, the application value of BDNF in rehabilitation therapy has gradually received attention. This study has adopted a systematic literature review method, searched Chinese and English databases, screened relevant studies, and conducted data extraction and quality evaluation. This review systematically introduced the research progress of BDNF in the correlation with post-stroke sequelae, with special attention to its application in post-stroke depression, motor dysfunction, and cognitive dysfunction. The results showed that a decrease in BDNF levels is closely related to the exacerbation of depressive symptoms, limited recovery of motor dysfunction, and the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction. BDNF, as a key neurobiological factor, has shown significant potential in the rehabilitation treatment of stroke. By exploring the potential of BDNF as a therapeutic target to prevent and treat sequelae of ischemic stroke, the current research bottlenecks, and the development trends of future treatment strategies.展开更多

The present study aimed to assess the risk of falls of patients with sequelae of stroke using Tinetti Index. Methods: Transversal descriptive study with 61 hospitalized patients. The data were collected through the application of Tinetti Index, the total score of which is 28 points. Results: The index evaluation shows que 47.9% had 19 points under the ideal score, indicating a high risk of falls, 41.7% from 24 to 28, indicating moderate risk and 10.4% from 19 to 23 points, indicating low risk of falls. The final average was (15.23), the median (16.50) and standard deviation (±11.034). Conclusions: There is a high risk of falls in this population, a quantification of impaired balance and gait anticipate the future risk of falls. The use of assessment instruments has important implications for improving the quality of life in patients with symptomatic stroke.展开更多

Methods Four hundred and eighty-eight cases of post-stroke patients with upper limb spasticity were randomly divided into two groups at the ratio of 1： 1, the group of meridian sinew row needling combined with dermal needling （group A, 244 cases） and western medication group （group B, 244 cases）. Coupled with rehabilitation, the patients in the group A were given meridian sinew row needling combined with dermal needling where five shu points were specifically selected, and three yang meridians of the hand were treated with acupuncture with muscle region, and three yin meridians of the hand were treated with dermal needles; the patients in the group B was treated with conventional western medication with piracetam injection and cerebroprotein hydrolysate included. Clinical efficacy was evaluated among patients in the two groups after three weeks of continuous treatment, and upper limb spasticity and motor functions were observed through modified Asworth Scale and FugI-Meyer Assessment Scale （FMA） before and after treatment. Results For Asworth Scale, group A was significantly superior to group B （3.04 ± 1.29 vs 3.88 ± 1.54, P〈0.05）; for FMA scale, group A was also significantly superior to group B （48.67± 15.64 vs 42.96±14.72, P〈0.05）; mitigations of motor status of upper limb joints in group A, such as remission of shoulder adduction （90.5%）, pronation of forearm （70.7%）, elbow joint flexion （73.1%）, wrist joint flexion （80.9%） and finger flexion （88.1%）, were superior to those of group B （70.0%, 60.0%, 61.9%, 57.4%, 63.2%, all P〈0.05）. Conclusion Good clinical efficacy of the treatment with combined with dermal needling on spasticity of post-stroke patients with upper limb hemiparalysis is achieved.展开更多

This 32-year-old female patient underwent craniotomy and drainage for right intracerebral hemorrhage due to rupture of an arteriovenous malformation. Brain MR images revealed a large leukomalactic lesion in the right fronto-parietal cortex. Diffusion tensor tractography at 8 months after onset revealed that the right corticospinal tract was severely injured. At this time, the patient could not stand or walk despite undergoing rehabilitation from 2 months after onset. It was believed that severe spasticity of the left leg and right ankle was largely responsible, and thus, antispastic drugs, antispastic procedures （alcohol neurolysis of the motor branch of the tibial nerve and an intramuscular alcohol wash of both tibialis posterior muscles） and physical therapy were tried to control the spasticity. These measures relieved the severe spasticity, with the result that the patient was able to stand at 3 months. In addition, the improvements in sensorimotor function, visuospatial function, and cognition also seemed to contribute to gait recovery. As a result, she gained the ability to walk independently on even floor with a left ankle foot orthosis at 11 months after onset. This case illustrates that clinicians should attempt to find the cause of gait inability and to initiate intensive rehabilitation in stroke patients who cannot walk at 3-6 months after onset.展开更多

Methods The patients in Congo China-Congo Friendship Hospital were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a medicine group, 30 cases in each group. For the acupuncture group, Moiluoning injection was administrated by intravenous drip and acupuncture was given at Sishencong （四神聪 EX-HN 1）, Zhangwan （中脘 CV 12）, Fenglong （丰隆 ST 40） and Neiguan （内关 PC 6）, etc., once daily for 10 consecutive days as a course of treatment. For the medicine group, 20 mL Moiluoning or 500 mL low molecular Dextran injection was administrated by intravenous drip, once each day for 10 consecutive days as a course of treatment. After 3 therapeutic courses, clinical therapeutic effects were assessed. Results After treatment, the scores for nervous function were significantly decreased in the two groups （both P〈0.05）, with a significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.05）, the acupuncture group being superior to the medicine group; the effective rate （93.3%, 28/30） of the acupuncture group was significantly higher than that （80.0%, 24/30） of the medicine group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Acupuncture with the method for dredging collaterals and resolving phlegm has a significant clinical effect on stroke.展开更多
