摘要
目的:观察电针改善阿尔茨海默病患者简易精神状态量表(mini-mental state examination,MMSE)评分的有效性与安全性,同时评价远期疗效。方法:将40例患者随机分为试验组和对照组,每组20例(试验组脱落3例,对照组脱落4例)。试验组穴取百会、风府、神庭、太阳、上印堂及大钟,其中太阳、百会、神庭连接电针,疏密波,频率10 Hz/50 Hz,电流强度0.5~5.0 mA,隔日1次,每周3次;对照组予口服盐酸多奈哌齐片5 mg,每日1次,睡前服用,两组均治疗12周。于治疗前、治疗12周±3 d、随访期24周±7 d对两组MMSE评分进行评价。结果:治疗12周±3 d时,两组治疗前后MMSE总分的差值组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);两组治疗后MMSE总分均较治疗前升高(均P<0.05);试验组瞬时记忆力评分较治疗前升高(P<0.05),且提高程度优于对照组(P<0.05)。随访24周±7d时,两组MMSE总分均较治疗前下降(均P<0.05),试验组下降程度少于对照组(P<0.05);两组瞬时记忆力治疗前后差值的组间比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组均无不良反应发生。结论:电针改善阿尔茨海默病患者MMSE评分的疗效与盐酸多奈哌齐片类似,电针疗法对改善阿尔茨海默病患者MMSE评分可能有一定持续效应,且瞬时记忆力方面的改善电针可能存在优势,并具有安全性。
Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture(EA) on improving mini-mental state examination(MMSE) in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD), and to evaluate the efficacy during follow-up visit. Methods Forty patients were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 20 patients in each one(3 patients dropped off in the treatment group and 4 patients in the control group). The patients in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture at Baihui(GV 20), Fengfu(GV 16), Shenting(GV 24), Taiyang(EX-HN 5), Shangyintang(Extra 3) and Dazhong(KI 14); besides, EA was applied at Taiyang(EX-HN 5), Baihui(GV 20) and Shenting(GV 24) with dilatational wave, 10 Hz/50 Hz in frequency, 0.5 to 5.0 mA in intensity, once every two days, three treatments per week. The patients in the control group were treated with oral administration of donepezil hydrochloride tablets, once a day, taken before sleep. The treatment was given for 12 weeks in the two groups. The MMSE was evaluated before treatment, 12 weeks±3 days into treatment, and 24 weeks±7 days after treatment, respectively. Results The difference of total score of MMSE before and 12 weeks±3 days into treatment was not significant between the two groups(P>0.05); the total score of MMSE after treatment was higher than that before treatment(both P<0.05); compared before treatment, the short-term memory score was increased in the treatment group(P<0.05), and the increasing range was superior to that in the control group(P<0.05). Compared before treatment, the total score of MMSE in the two groups were reduced 24 weeks ±7 days after treatment(both P<0.05), and the reduction in the treatment group was less than that in the control group(P<0.05); the differences of short-term memory score before and after treatment was significant between the two groups(P<0.05). No adverse reaction occurred in the two groups. Conclusion The effect of EA on improving MMSEin patients with AD is similar to donepezil supported by evidence-based medicine. The effect of EA may have a certain continuous effect, and may have advantages in instantaneous memory. In addition, the EA is safe.
