    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To observe therapeutic effect of acupuncture method for consciousness-restoring resuscitation on cerebral infarction with hyperlipidemia. METHODS: Sixty cases of apoplexy with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into a consciousness-restoring resuscitation acupuncture group (treatment group) and a Chinese medicine control group (control group), 30 cases in each group. TCM symptomatic scores and indexes of blood lipids were detected before and after treatment in the two groups. RESULTS: The total effective rate for improvement of blood lipids was 72.4% in the treatment group, which was not different from that (65.5%) in the control group (P> 0.05); the total effective rate for clinical symptoms was 89.7% in the treatment group, which was better than that (62.1%) in the control group (P < 0.05). The treatment group was superior to the control group in improvement of numbness and twinge in extremities, dizziness, distention and oppressed feeling in chest and hypochondrium, anorexia, sleepy and weakness (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture method for consciousness-restoring resuscitation can regulate metabolic disorder of lipids and improve main clinical symptoms in the patient of cerebral infarction with hyperlipidemia.
