目的观察电针对急性脑卒中后抑郁症（PSD）患者神经功能、抑郁程度、临床疗效的影响。方法将确诊为PSD的肝气郁结证患者用随机数字表法分为电针组35例（基础治疗＋电针）与对照组34例（基础治疗）;两组治疗前、治疗后第7、14日分别采用美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表（NIHSS）、汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HAMD）评定神经功能及抑郁症状的变化。结果治疗第7、14日后,两组NIHSS评分、HAMD评分均低于同组治疗前（P〈0.05）,电针组NIHSS评分、HAMD评分均低于同期对照组（P〈0.05）;电针组总有效率为88.57%,明显高于对照组的67.65%（P〈0.05）。结论电针促进肝气郁结证PSD患者神经功能恢复可能与减轻抑郁症状等机制有关。

英文摘要：

Objective： To explore the effects of electroacupuncture（EA） on improving neural function and depression in patients with post stroke depression（PSD）. Methods： Patients diagnosed as PSD with stagnation of liver qi were assigned into EA group（n=35） and the control group（n=34）,according to random number label. The patients in EA group were given EA and conventional treatment,while the patients in the control group only received conventional treatment. Before and after treatment,on 7th and 14th day,the neural function and depressive symptoms were respectively assessed by NIH stroke scale（NIHSS） and HAMD. Results： After treatment,on 7th and 14th day,NIHSS scores and HAMD scores of both groups were lower than those before treatment（P〈0.05）.Additionally,NIHSS scores and HAMD scores in the EA group were lower than those of the same time in the control group（P〈0.05）. The total effective rate of EA group was up to 88.57%,while the total effective rate of the control group was only 67.65%;there was significantly difference between two groups（P〈0.05）. Conclusions： EA can promote the recovery of neural function and also reduce the depressive symptoms in patients with PSD of stagnation of liver qi.
