[Observation on therapeutic effect of "Shandong Xiaoying" needling method for treatment of cerebral infarction].
OBJECTIVE
To search for an effective method for treatment of cerebral infarction.


METHODS
Sixty cases of cerebral infarction were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. All of them were treated with routine needling method, and "Shandong Xiaoying" needling was added to the observation group. The therapeutic effects, recovery of myodynamia and daily living ability were compared in the two groups.


RESULTS
There was no significant difference between the two groups in the total effective rate for recovery of upper limb myodynamia (P > 0.05), but there was a very significant difference in the total effective rate for recovery of lower limb myodynamia and increase of daily living ability between the two groups (P < 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
"Shandong Xiaoying" needling has markedly therapeutic effect on cerebral infarction.
