OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of acupuncture combined physical training and relearning on @entity64 @entity1 . METHODS: A multi-center, randomized controlled trial design was adopted. A total of 364 @entity64 @entity1 were recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental group (184 cases) and the control group (180 cases). @entity1 in the experimental group received acupuncture combined with physical training and relearning, while those in the control group only received physical training and relearning. All received four weeks of treatment. Effects on Fugl-Meyer motor function, @entity16 , activities of daily living difference were compared before treatment, after treatment, 2 and 5 months after follow-ups between the two groups. RESULTS: Totally 353 @entity1 completed this trial, 179 in the experimental group and 174 in the control group. (1) compared with before treatment, brief Fugl-Meyer motor functions scores and @entity15467 scored obviously increased, and scores for @entity16 obviously decreased in the two group. Besides, the increment of brief Fugl-Meyer motor functions scores and @entity15467 scores was obviously higher in the experimental group than in the control group at month 2 and 5 of follow-ups; scores for @entity16 was obviously lower in the experimental group than in the control group. The increment of @entity15467 scores was obviously higher in the experimental group than in the control group at month 5 of follow-ups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). (2) There was statistical difference in inter-group comparison of total Fugl-Meyer motor functions scores and @entity15467 scores, or scores for @entity16 (P < 0.01). The improvement of Fugl-Meyer motor functions grading and @entity16 grading was obviously superior in the experimental group at month 2 and 5 of follow-ups. The distribution of @entity15467 grading was also better in the experimental group at month 5 of follow-ups (P < 0.05, P < 0. 01). CONCLUSIONS: Both acupuncture combined exercise training and relearning and physical training and relearning could effectively promote the rehabilitation of @entity64 @entity1 , reduce their @entity16 degrees, improve motor functions and independent capacities. Better long-term efficacy could be obtained by acupuncture combined exercise training and relearning.
