Effect of the continuous nursing combined with ultrasonic and electroacupuncture in old CSVD patients

Objective To study the effect of the continuous nursing combined with ultrasonic and electroacupuncture in old Cerebral small vessel diseases(CSVD) patients. Methods From April 2018 to December 2018, 54 old CSVD patients form internal neurology department of Anhui No 2 Provincial People`s Hospital were chosen and randomly divided into the control group(n=27) and research group(n=27).The control group was used continuous nursing,while the research group was used the continuous nursing combined with ultrasonic and electroacupuncture.The maximun walking speed within 10 m(10 m MWS),the life quality scores,the lower and upper limb functions scores were compared between the two groups. Results There were no statistically significant in 10 m MWS, limb functions scores, life quality scores between the two groups while discharge, all P>0.05. Two months and six months after discharge, the 10 m MWS of the control group [(27.3±2.8)m/min,(31.1±2.9)m/min] and the research group [(30.7±3.1)m/min,(35.9±3.5)m/min] were better than that of the discharge [(22.2±2.4)m/min,(21.9±2.1)m/min, all P<0.01], and the increase of 10 m MWS of the research group was significantly better than that of the control group. Two months and six months after discharge, the limb functions scores of the control group and the research group were better than those at discharge(all P<0.01), and at two and six months after discharge, the limb functions scores in the research group were significantly better than those in the control group(all P<0.01); Two months and six months after discharge, the quality of life scores of the two groups were better than that of the discharge(all P<0.01), and the increase of the quality of life scores of the research group was significantly greater than that of the control group(all P<0.01). Conclusion The continuous nursing combined with ultrasonic and electroacupuncture can improve 10 m MWS, the life quality scores,the lower and upper limb functions scores in old CSVD patients, which is worthy of clinical application.
