研究目的:

(1)通过开展多中心、随机、假对照试验,明确经皮穴位电刺激(TEAS)治疗缺血性脑卒中后上肢痉挛的临床有效性和安全性; (2)为现有中医特色卒中管理方案优化提供临床证据,获得高质量、国际认可的循证证据。

Objectives of Study:

(1) Conduct multi-center randomized placebo-controlled trials to clarify the clinical efficacy and safety of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) in treating upper limb spasticity after ischemic stroke; (2) Provide clinical evidence for optimizing existing traditional Chinese medicine-based stroke management programs and obtain high-quality internationally recognized evidence.

药物成份或治疗方案详述:

在前期小样本预试验基础上,开展多中心、随机、假治疗对照临床研究。以208例缺血性脑卒中后上肢痉挛患者为研究对象,采用中央分层区组随机分配至各个中心,在健康教育和原治疗的基础上,以TEAS治疗为干预手段,以假TEAS治疗为对照,每周治疗3次,连续6周,分别于治疗前、首次治疗后即刻、治疗3周、治疗6周后和随访12周评估。以上肢Fugl-Meyer运动功能评分为主要疗效指标,采用sEMG及屈伸角度变化结合改良Ashworth痉挛量表、Wolf运动功能量表、Barthel指数等多维度疗效评价量表,从运动障碍程度、肌肉痉挛程度、运动功能、疼痛程度、生活能力、肌肉功能状态、屈伸角度变化、不良事件等方面明确经皮穴位电刺激(TEAS)治疗卒中后上肢痉挛的有效性及安全性,解决TEAS治疗卒中后痉挛高质量证据不足的问题。

Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail:

Based on preliminary small sample pre-trials a multi-center randomized placebo-controlled clinical study was conducted. The study involved 208 patients with upper limb spasticity following ischemic stroke. Participants were centrally stratified and randomly assigned to various centers. On the basis of health education and standard treatment TEAS (Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation) was used as the intervention while sham TEAS served as the control. Treatments were administered three times a week for six consecutive weeks with evaluations conducted before treatment immediately after the first treatment at three weeks at six weeks and at a 12-week follow-up. The primary efficacy endpoint was the Fugl-Meyer Assessment score for the upper limb. Additionally sEMG and changes in flexion and extension angles were combined with various multidimensional efficacy evaluation scales including the modified Ashworth scale for spasticity the Wolf Motor Function Test and the Barthel Index. This comprehensive approach aimed to clarify the effectiveness and safety of TEAS in treating post-stroke upper limb spasticity addressing the issue of insufficient high-quality evidence for TEAS treatment of post-stroke spasticity.
