Functional Recovery Effect of Bloodletting Puncture at Jing-well Points on Acute Brain Injury Patients

To Evaluate the Functional Recovery Effect of Bloodletting Puncture at Jing-well Points on Acute Brain Injury Patients

NCT04930146•Chang Gung Memorial Hospital

Summary

Traumatic brain injury (Traumatic brain injury, TBI) can be derived from various forms of injury, including blunt trauma, penetrating or acceleration/deceleration force caused by head injury.There are some study data show that acupuncture treatment has a superficial effect on the prognosis of traumatic brain injury and can limit the progression of secondary brain injury, but the effect of early bloodletting at the Jing-points on TBI patients still unknown. In our study, the investigators have proposed a randomized, controlled study design and plan to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Jing-point puncture to improve consciousness and neurological function in patients with TBI. In addition, an objective meridian instrument analysis was added to analyze the energy distribution in the meridian of TBI patients.
