摘要
Objective: To observe the influence of electroacupuncture on depression and defects of neurological functions in the patients with post-stroke depression. Methods: 90 cases of the apoplectic patients confirmed clinically by CT or MRI were selected and divided randomly into three groups by digital table, 30 cases in each group. All three groups of the patients were treated for wind stroke, with electric stimulation added for the acupuncture group, Fluoxetine added for medication group, and placebo added for control group, continuously for 60 d. Results: Compared to the control group, the scores in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Modified Edinburgh-Scandinavia Stroke Scale (MESSS) decreased in the electroacupuncture group and medication group, and the scores in Barthel index increased (P<0.05). The general therapeutic effects were better in the electroacupuncture group and medication group than in the control group, and the general therapeutic effects were similar in the electroacupuncture group and medication group. Conclusion: Electroacupuncture can improve depressive behavior and promote rehabilitation of the nervous functions. © 2010 Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
