Abstract:
 Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical effect of ultrasound waves in the treatment of cerebral infarction at convalescence. Methods Eighty-four patients with cerebral infarction at convalescence were selected and divided into treatment group (n=40) and control group (n=44) according to different treatment methods. The patients in control group were given routine drug rehabilitation therapy, while the patients in treatment group were treated with ultrasound waves and routine drug rehabilitation therapy. The status of nerve injury, daily activities and recovery of limb motor function were evaluated by related scales; the cerebral hemodynamics was assessed with transcranial Doppler blood flow analyzer; and the curative efficacy and safety were also evaluated. Results No significant differences were found between the two groups in scores of different scales, the anterior and middle cerebral artery peak systolic blood flow velocity (Vs), the average blood flow velocity (Vm), and resistance index (RI) before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), modified Barthel index and simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) were improved significantly; Vs and Vm increased significantly while RI decreased significantly. Compared with those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with those in control group, NIHSS score and RI were significantly lower, while the scores of modified Barthel index and FMA, and the Vs and Vm were significantly higher in the treatment group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group, with statistical differences (87.50% vs 68.18%, P<0.05). No obvious adverse reactions were observed in the two groups during the treatment. Conclusion Routine drug rehabilitation combined with ultrasound waves can significantly promote the recovery of neurological function, daily activities and limb motor function in patients with cerebral infarction, and increase intracranial blood supply, which is helpful to improve the clinical curative effect and prognosis.
