Objective : The aim of this research was to investigate the depressive effect of acupuncture on Gangap-point and depletion on Taech´u-point in stroke patients.
Methods : We measured the blood pressure of the patients who were admitted in the Oriental Medical hopital of Dongeui medical center from 21. Oct. 2001. to 20. Jan. 2002. 19 stroke patients were devided into two groups. 12 patients were treated by acupunctured on Gangap-point. The other 7 patients were treated by depletion on Taech´u-point. The activity of daily living was measured. If systolic blood pressure was over 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure was over 90 ㎜Hg, acupunctured on Gangap-point and depletion on Taech´u-point were performed. Then 30minutes and 60minutes later, systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rates were measured
Results : After 30 minute treatment. both acupuncture on Gnagap-point and depletion on Taech´u-point significantly depressed the systolic blood pressure. After 60 minute treatment. only depletion on Taech´u-point were statistically significant in depressing the systolic blood pressure. Pulse rates were not significantly changed.
Conclusion : These results suggest that depletion on Taech´u-point is more effective in depressing the systolic blood pressure than acupuncture on Gnagap-point.
