Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical effect of acupoint massage on hemiplegia patients with cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 102 hemiplegia patients with cerebral infarction treated in Liyang People’s Hospital of Jiangsu Province from June 2019 to June 2022 were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, with 51 cases in each group. The control group was treated with Butylphthalide, and the observation group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint massage on the basis of the control group. After two months of treatment, the scores of the simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function scale (FMA), the maximum grip strength of the affected hand, the score of the National Institutes of Health neurological deficiency scale (NIHSS) and the level of homocysteine (Hcy) were compared between the two groups. Results There were significant differences in FMA scores of the two groups at different time points (P＜0.05). After one and 2 months of treatment, FMA scores in observation group were higher than those in control group (P＜0.05). After two months of treatment, the maximum grip strength of the affected side was increased in both groups, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P＜0.05). There was significant difference in NIHSS score between the two groups at different time points (P＜0.05). After two months of treatment, serum Hcy level in both groups was lower than before treatment, and the observation group was lower than the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion The application of acupoint massage in the auxiliary treatment of patients with cerebral infarction and hemiplegia is quite beneficial for promoting the recovery of motor function, and has a promising application prospect.
