Systematic Evaluation and Meta Analysis of Thermal Acupuncture Treatment of Shoulder Hand Syndrome After Stroke

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of warm acupuncture on lateral limb pain, swelling and function in patients with shoulder hand syndrome after stroke. Method of Cochrane system evaluation, Computer retrieval Cochrane Library, JBI, MEDLINE, Pubmed, Scopus, Web of science, Embase, CBM, A randomized controlled trial on comparing the effects of mild acupuncture and mere acupuncture in the treatment of shoulder hand syndrome after stroke, and screening of references for inclusion in the literature by two evaluators independently extracting information and evaluating quality of literature. A Analysis. Evaluation indicators include the level of pain in the upper limb, motor function of the upper limbs, The degree of hand swelling and the occurrence of unsafe events. A total of 6 RCT articles met the criteria for inclusion in the analysis, cumulative sample content 400 cases. 6 results showed VAS scores in the warm acupuncture group [MD=-2.34,95% CI (-4.65, -0.02), P=0.05], FMA min [MD=6.87,95% CI ( 3.39,10.35), P·0.01] Differences are statistically significant; Release the degree of limb swelling [SMD=-2.67,95% CI (-7.10,1.76), P>0.05] The difference is statistically significant. Conclusions that warm acupuncture improves limb pain, limb edema, motor function in patients with post-stroke shoulder syndrome. To improve limb pain and motor function It is recommended that more high-quality studies further validate this conclusion.
