Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of manual acupuncture at the LI4, ST36 and LR3 on Electroencephalogram(EEG) of patients with stroke.
Methods : 32 channel EEG measurement was carried out in 35 Stroke patients(23 males and 12 females). EEG was measured for 21 minutes(made up of 7 sessions, 1 session means 3 minutes time interval) including 15 minutes(5 sessions) of acupuncture time. Power spectrum analysis was used as a measure of complexity. Statistical analysis was performed using Linear mixed model and DUNNETT’s multiple comparison.
Results : The results were as follows;1. EEG amplitude was reduced during acupuncture except electrodes PG1 and PG2. 2. There was a notable change during 6∼9 minutes after needling in δ?β?γ wave, and during 6∼9 minutes after needling in θ?α wave. Overall, during 6∼9 minutes after needling. 3. TP8 is a common significant electrode among five wave forms.
Conclusions : These results suggest that TP8 could be typical electrodes and change of EEG compared to baseline happens most often during 6∼9 minutes after manipulated acupuncture at the LI4, ST36 and LR3 of patients with stroke.
