摘要
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion for vascular dementia and explore its mechanism.Methods:A total of 70 patients with vascular dementia were randomized into an observation group and a control group,with 35 cases in each group.The control group was treated with piracetam,and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment of the control group.The treatment lasted for 8 weeks.Before and after the treatment,the mini-mental state examination(MMSE),activity of daily living(ADL)and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom scores were assessed,and the levels of acetyl choline(Ach)and homocysteine(Hcy)were measured.The efficacy was evaluated after treatment.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the MMSE and ADL scores in the observation group decreased significantly,and were lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05);the TCM symptom score of the observation group decreased significantly(P<0.05),while that of the control group had no significant change(P>0.05);the plasma Ach level in the observation group increased significantly(P<0.05),and the Hcy level decreased significantly(P<0.05),which were statistically different from those in the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion:Heat-sensitive moxibustion plus piracetam is effective in treating vascular dementia.It can significantly improve dementia symptoms and ADL,which may be related to the correction of plasma Ach and Hcy levels.
目的:观察热敏灸治疗血管性痴呆的疗效并探讨其作用机制.方法:将70例血管性痴呆(VD)患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组35例.对照组予吡拉西坦治疗,观察组在对照组基础之上加用热敏灸治疗.共治疗8周.治疗前后进行简易精神状态量表(MMSE)、日常生活能力(ADL)量表及中医证候评分,测定患者血浆乙酰胆碱(Ach)和同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)水平,并于治疗后进行疗效评价.结果:观察组有效率明显高于对照组(P<0.05).治疗后,观察组患者的MMSE评分及ADL评分均明显降低,且低于对照组(均P<0.05);观察组的中医证候评分明显降低(P<0.05),对照组评分变化不显著(P>0.05);观察组血浆Ach水平明显升高(P<0.05),Hcy水平明显降低(P<0.05),且观察组血浆Ach和Hcy水平与对照组均有统计学差异(均P<0.05).结论:热敏灸加吡拉西坦治疗VD疗效确切,能显著改善患者痴呆症状,提高患者生活自理能力,可能与纠正血浆Ach和Hcy水平有关.
