Abstract

Abstract: Objective To observe the effects of the acupuncture on the central post-stroke pain (CPSP). Methods Seventy cases of CPSP were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (35 cases) and a medication group (35 cases). The basic treatment of cerebrovascular disease was applied in two groups. The acupuncture group was treated with acupuncture at Baihui (GV20) etc, five times every week, and totally 4 weeks were required, while the medication group was given Amitriptyline (25 mg each time,thrice a day), continuously for 28 days. The scores of Visual Analogue Scale/Score (VAS), short-form of McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) were evaluated in both groups. Results The total effective rate was 72.9%(23/32)in acupuncture group, which was better than 51.5%(17/33,P<0.05) in the medication group. The scores of VAS and SF-MPQ after treatment were decreased as compared with those before treatment in both groups (all P<0.05). In terms of sensory, emotion and pain,the acupuncture group was superior to the medication group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture could relieve pain in treating central post-stroke pain.

Key words: acupuncture, central post-stroke pain, amitriptyline
