Objective To study the clinical effect of acupoint therapy based on myofascial chain theory in rehabilitation of hemiplegic muscle spasm patients after stroke. Methods The patients selected in this study were all patients with hemiplegic muscle spasm after stroke who were admitted to a hospital from January 2023 to December 2023. 60 patients were selected as the study subjects, 30 patients were selected as the control group, conventional exercise therapy was adopted, and 30 patients in the treatment group were implemented, and the clinical effects of the treatment were compared between the two groups after the implementation of "acupoint therapy guided by the myofascial chain theory + conventional exercise therapy". Results Compared with the quality of life score before and after treatment and the modified Ashworth spasm assessment score, the treatment group was significantly better than the control group after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The treatment effective rate was 96.67% in the treatment group and 70.00% in the control group, which was significantly lower than that in the treatment group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients with hemiplegic muscle spasm after stroke, taking acupoint therapy guided by myofascial chain theory and conventional exercise therapy can effectively improve the condition of hemiplegic muscle spasm and improve the treatment efficiency, which is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
