| ABSTRACT |
Objective :
The purpose of this clinical study was to investigate the effects of moxibustion on functional recovery in stroke
patients.
Methods :
Forty two stroke patients were randomized into either the standard physiotherapy treatment combined with
moxibustion group or a control group with standard physiotherapy alone. They were 8 weeks from onset to the start of this
study. Moxibustion was applied at 合谷(LI14), 外關(TE5), 曲池(LI11), 太衝(LIV3), 懸鍾(絶骨,G39), 足三里(S36) in
hemiplegic upper and lower extremity, once a day for 6 weeks.
The effect of treatment on functional recovery was assessed using the Functional Independence Measure scale. Statistical
significance was achieved if the probability was less than 5%(p<0.05).
Result:
These 2 groups had comparable clinical characteristics; sex, age, lesion, and pre-treatment FIM score. After 6
weeks, patients in the moxibustion group performed better on FIM. The differences were significant(P=0.001).
Conclusion:
These results suggest that moxibustion is an effective treatment for functional recovery in stroke patients. |
