Abstract:
This paper summarized the clinical experience in the treatment of hemiplegia after stroke based on the theory of “sanjiao (三焦)-original yang". It is believed that original yang, distributed throughout the body through sanjiao, warms the zang-fu (脏腑) organs and tissues. The key pathogenesis of hemiplegia after stroke is original yang depletion and disturbance of sanjiao. The treatment principle should be reinforcing and assisting original yang, and regulating qi movement of sanjiao. The main acupoints selected should be Baihui (GV 20), Shenting (GV 24), Touwei (ST 8), Sanyangluo (SJ 8), Jiuwei (CV 15), Qichong (ST 30), Yanglingquan (GB 34), Xuanzhong (GB 39) and Shenmai (BL 62). Clinically, according to the clinical manifestations of hemiplegia in the flaccid and spastic stages and the differentiated syndromes and symptoms, acupoints can be modified, and different acupuncture techniques can be used to dredge and unblock the channels and collaterals.
