Abstract:
Objective: To observe the short-term effects of electroacupuncture at different acupoints on patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction. Methods: Patients with cerebral infarction were randomly allocated into a group of electroacupuncture nerve trunk and a group nerve trunk or routine acupoints, respectively, once a day, for 14 d. Results: Electroacupuncture at nerve trunk had better effects than at routine acupoints. The short-term improvement of electroencephalogram had significant differences (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Electroacupuncture at the nerve trunk could improve the neurologic impairment and brain function, and it has a better result than routine electroacupuncture.
