OBJECTIVE: To probe the best therapy for the patient after operation of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS:One hundred cases were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The control group were treated by routine western medicine (Mannitol, Nifedipine and Caftriaxone sodium and so On), and the treatment group by the medication of the control group plus acupuncture 9 days after operation. Acupuncture was given at Neiguan (PC 6), Shuigou (GV 26), Sanyinjiso (SP 6), Jiquan (HT 1) and Weizhong (BL 40) and so on, combined with scalp acupuncture, with "restoring consciousness and inducing consciousness" needling method, for 10 days. The nervous function defect was assessed by Chinese Stroke Scale and the criteria for assessment of therapeutic effects. RESULTS:Acupuncture could improve significantly nervous function defect. The total effective rate was 86.000 in the treatment group and 14.0% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effect of the treatment group is better than that of the control group. Acupuncture combined with western medicine has cooperation for treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with a better therapeutic effect.
