Objective:
To observe clinical therapeutic effect of the needling method of selecting time on stroke.
Methods:
One hundred and twenty cases of stroke were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 60 cases in each group. The observation group were treated with acupuncture between 7:00-11:00 and the control group with acupuncture at any time. Their therapeutic effects, blood lipids and blood coagulation indexes were observed.
Results:
The cured-markedly effective rate and the total effective rate were 53.3% and 93.3% in the observation group, which were significantly higher than 35.0% and 78.3% in the control group, respectively; total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) significantly decreased and HDL-C significantly raised, fibrinogen (FG) significantly reduced in the observation group (all P < 0.01), the lipids regulating and anti-coagulation effects were significantly better than the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Acupuncture between 7:00-11:00 achieves significant effect on stroke through increasing the lipids-decreasing and anticoagulation effects.
