Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effects of massage combined with very early exercise (VEM) on the rehabilitation effect, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and motor ability of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods

One hundred and ten patients with AIS within 24 h, admitted to Institute of Nerve Trauma and Repair, Characteristic Medical Center of PAP from January 2019 to June 2020, were randomly divided into 2 groups, with 55 cases in each group. The control group started the first VEM within 24 h (including self-sitting, standing or walking out of bed), once a day for 10-30 min each time; On the basis of the control group, the observation group started the first massage treatment within 24 h, each time for 20 min; both groups were treated for 2 weeks. Observe and compare the serum BDNF content, National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score, modified Barthel index (MBI) score, (upper and lower limbs) Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (FMA), Berg balance scale (BBS) score and Wisconsin gait scale (WGS) score at admission, 2 weeks, 1 and 3 months after stroke; and the modifiedRankin scale score was observed at 1 and 3 months.

Results

After rehabilitation, the scores of NIHSS, MBI, upper and lower limb FMA, BBS and WGS were significantly improved (P<0.05), and the content of serum BDNF significantly increased (P<0.05); the NIHSS and upper limb FMA scores of the observation group were significantly better than the control group at 1 and 3 months (P<0.05); at 2 weeks, 1 and 3 months, the MBI, lower limb FMA, BBS and WGS scores of the observation group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05), and serum BDNF content was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05); the outcome of the observation group was significantly better than the control group at 3 months (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Massage combined with VEM can better improve the rehabilitation effect, the expression of BDNF and recovery of exercise capacity of AIS patients, and increase long-term good outcome.
