| مستخلص: | Objective: To evaluate the structural changes of atherosclerotic plaque before and after acupuncture treatment by three-dimensional ultrasound of Vascular Plaque Quantification technology. Methods: Forty subjects were recruited and randomly divided into acupuncture group and sham acupuncture group. All patients were treated twice a week for 3 months and were observed the changes of the bilateral carotid plaque volume (PV), gray scale value (GSM) and inner media thickness (IMT). Results: The acupuncture group's PV decreased after 3 months, while the sham group's increased slightly. The result were statistically significant (P≤0.05). After treatment, the acupuncture group's left GSM was higher than before, while the sham group's was slightly lower than before. The result were statistically significant (P≤0.05). Although the difference of the acupuncture group's right GSM before and after treatment was not statistically significant, it also had a rising trend. Conclusion: Acupuncture can reduce the volume of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and stabilize the nature of the plaque. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
