Clinical observation of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy advantages of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in treating shoulder-hand syndrome. METHODS: Thirty stroke patients with shoulder-hand syndrome were randomly divided into three GROUPS: Group A received traditional Chinese acupuncture, Group B received Western occupational rehabilitation therapy, and Group C received integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment. The treatment duration was 28 days, and the results before and after treatment were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Group C showed statistically significant differences compared with Groups A and B in pain scale scores, modified Fugl-Meyer score, and (A)DL scale scores (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment for shoulder-hand syndrome has better efficacy and can better promote limb rehabilitation in stroke patients.
