Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Jisuikang (, JSK) on kinetic dysfunction in patients after spinal injury. METHODS: Eighty-four patients with spinal injury were assigned equally, according to a randomizing digital table to the treated group and the control group. Conventional treatment was given to both groups, and JSK was additionally given to the treated group. Changes of various kinetic function concerning parameters including kinetic score, grades of spinal injury, effectiveness of the treatment and available recovery rate in patients allocated in the treated group and the control group were observed and compared in the way issued by Association of Spinal Injury of America (ASIA). RESULTS: Better effects were shown in the treated group than those in the control group in improving kinetic score (92.00+/-9.95 scores vs 83.76+/-24.12 scores), ASIA overall improvement rate (69.05% vs 45.24%) and grades of effectiveness (P<0.05). However, the difference of available recovery rate between the two groups was insignificant (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: JSK could prevent secondary alteration of spinal injury, promote the recovery and regeneration of nerve tissues, but could not restore the function of a necrotic spine.
