The Brunnstrom cerebral apoplexy motor recovery six-stages scale was used as criterion for division of stages in treatment of the treatment group, and different points were selected according to different stages, and the brief Fugl-Meyer motor scale was used as criterion for assessment of the therapeutic effect; the control group were treated with routine acupuncture.
RESULTSThe total effective rate was 93.8% in the treatment group and 57.9% in the control group, the treatment group being better than the control group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONElectroacupuncture at points of different channels at different stages has a good therapeutic effect on hemiplegia after apoplexy.
