How effective is electroacupuncture for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage?
Pneumonia is a serious postoperative complication of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
The most common causes of intracerebral hemorrhage are high blood pressure (hypertension) and head trauma.
A study of 80 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage complicated with pneumonia were randomly placed in either the electroacupuncture group (electroacupuncture treatment and routine basic treatment) or the control group (routine basic treatment).
After 14 days of intervention, the patients in the electroacupuncture group showed better symptom and sign scores, including blood oxygen saturation levels, lowered levels of inflammatory factors and white blood cell count, and higher effective rates than those in the control group.
