Title : Clinical efficacy observation of acupuncture cupping blistering therapy in treating 76 cases of stroke
Abstract:
Object : Observe the impact of “Acupuncture cupping blistering therapy” (one of ten innovative techniques) on the clinical efficacy and functional recovery in stroke treatment.
Method: 76 patients were randomly divided into a treatment group of 38 cases treated with "acupuncture cupping blistering therapy" and a control group of 38 cases treated with "acupuncture cupping non-blistering therapy" (following an ancient clinical practice dating back thousands of years).
Results: The total effective rates for the treatment group and the control group were 93.33% and 76.67%, respectively (P<0.05). The treatment group showed a very significant effect on restoring function (P<0.01), while the control group showed no significant effect on restoring function (P>0.05). There were significant differences in efficacy and restoration of function between the two groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion: "Acupuncture cupping blistering therapy" has a confirmed therapeutic effect on stroke, promoting significantly faster functional recovery. It is significantly superior to the control group.
