2.2. Treatment protocol
Acupuncture, cerebrovascular disease, Stroke, → five-finger flexion → wrist dorsal extension
DISEASE, CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE, STROKE
Patients in both groups received conventional treatment in the acupuncture department, and the Chinese guidelines for primary prevention of cerebrovascular disease in the 2021 edition of the Chinese Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus on Stroke Disease MonitoringEA group treatment: refer to the 13th Five-Year Plan textbook “Acupuncture and Moxibustion”Low frequency group treatment: selected points: Group 1: Shousanli (LI10), Waiguan (SJ5); Group 2: Neiguan (PC6), Ximen (PC4); Group 3: Yuji (LU10), Hegu (LI4). Operation: The patient is seated with the shoulder joint slightly abducted, the elbow joint flexed, the forearm standing sideways on the table, and the hand slightly clenched in a fist. SZR-LF-2A low frequency stimulator and nonwoven electrode patch with the specification of 4 * 4 cm were selected. Routine sterilization of the application site before operation, low-frequency stimulation instrument and electrode patch connected, each group of wires connected to 2 patches, a total of 3 groups, respectively, placed on the selected acupuncture point, the first group of Shousanli, Waiguan, the second group of Neiguan, Ximen, the third group of Yuji, Hegu. The treatment frequency is selected as 50Hz, pulse width 0.3ms, waveform is intermittent waveform, stimulation intensity is tolerated by the patient, the instrument program is set to stimulate the first group of acupoints → second group → first group → third group, forming a set of programmed movements, cyclic operation, appearing alternate movements of flexor and extensor muscles, namely: wrist dorsal extension, five-finger extension → five-finger flexion → wrist dorsal extension, five-finger extension → thumb-index finger pair pinching, simulating fine movements Grasp of the hand, thumb-index finger pair pinch. The treatment course was the same as that of the EA group. The low-frequency treatment process can be seen in Figure Treatment chart of low frequency group.
