Objective To comparatively analyze clinical efficacy of treating post- stroke balance disorders with trunk muscles acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training and rehabilitation training alone. Methods In a randomized control study, 59 patients were randomly divided into two groups in sequence of admission. Both groups were given conventional medical treatment; the acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group (group A, 30 cases) was treated with trunk muscles acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training, and the rehabilitation training group (group B, 29 cases) was treated with rehabilitation training alone. Both groups were treated six times per week with four weeks as a course of treatment, and a total of four courses were given. Before and after treatment, efficacy of balance function and integral of activities of daily living (ADL) of patients were evaluated. Results The score of balance function of patients in group A and in group B after treatment (38.47 ± 11.34, 32.55 ± 10.02) was higher than that in the two groups before treatment (14.56 ± 6.00, 13.51 ± 6.28), and the differences were statistically significant (both P〈0.05). After treatment, the score of balance function of patients in group A was higher than that in group B (P〈0.05). The score of ADL of patients in group A and in group B after treatment (61.33 ± 18.47, 51.72 ± 17.28) was higher than that in the two groups before treatment (22.50 ± 6.79, 24.48 ± 7.23), and the differences were statistically significant (both P〈0.05). After treatment, the score of ADL of patients in group A was higher than that in group B (P〈0.05). Conclusion The balance function and ADL of patients with post-stroke balance disorders could be improved with trunk muscles acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training, and its efficacy was superior to rehabilitation training alone.
