Popis: To understand the incidence of post-stroke depression (PSD) and the therapeutic effect of acupuncture-moxibustion.Five hundred and sixty cases were rating with Hamilton depression scale, and lesion parts, gender, age and property of stroke between the PSD and non-PSD were compared by analysis of variance, chi2 test, and then the patients of PSD were randomly divided into two groups and treated respectively with Prozac-20 and acup-moxibustion at Sishencong (EX-HN 1), Anmian, Neiguan (PC 6), Shenmen (HT 7), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taichong (LR 3), Zhaohai (KI 6), Shenmai (BL 62).The total incidence rate of PSD was 43.9%, with no relation to the lesion parts, gender, age and property of stroke (P0.05), and there were very significant differences in HAMD scores before and after treatment in the two groups (P0.0001), with no significant difference in the effective rate between the two groups (P0.05).PSD has a high incidence and influences the recovery of nervous function, and it should be treated at early stage. Acup-moxibustion and Prozac-20 have similar therapeutic effect.
