Abstract:To explore the effects of warm acupuncture combined with Huotan Xijing Decoction on quality of life and electroencephalogram in patients with epilepsy secondary to cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of 112 patients with epilepsy secondary to cerebral infarction in Hai'an People's Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from August 2015 to July 2017 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 56 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine treatment,while the observation group was treated with warm acupuncture combined with Huotan Xijing Decoction.The electroencephalogram,the scores of MLHFQ,MoCA and NFD,the total improvement rate and the score of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms were compared between the 2 groups.Results:After treatment,the total improvement rate in the observation group was 7850%,which was significantly higher than 5720% in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<005).The scores of MLHFQ and NFD in the 2 groups decreased significantly (P<005),and those scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<005).After treatment,the scores of MoCA in the 2 groups increased significantly (P<005),and the one in the observation group was higher than that in the control group.The difference was statistically significant (P<005).Compared with before treatment,the scores of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms in the 2 groups decreased significantly (P<005),and the score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<005).The difference was statistically significant (P<005).Conclusion:Warm acupuncture combined with Huotan Xijing Decoction can not only improve the electroencephalogram,quality of life and cognitive level,but also effectively control the onset of epilepsy in the patients with epilepsy secondary to cerebral infarction,which is worthy of clinical application.
