Abstract:
To investigate an effective method of treating ischemic stroke. Methods:The scalp area corresponding to the ischemic focus was electro-acupunctured by craniocerebral CT localization. Cerebral blood flow and blood rheology were measured. Results:The curative effect and changes in cerebral blood flow and hemorheologic indices were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Scalp electro-acupuncture based on CT localization is an effective method of treating ischemic stroke.
