Objective: To observe the influence of acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Xuanzhong (GB 39) on cerebral vasomotoricity of ischemic stroke and its possible mechanism.Methods: All the appropriate cases were randomly divided into treatment and control groups with 80 cases in each group. The routine treatment of cerebral apoplexy was given to the two groups. Zusanli (ST 36) and Xuanzhong (GB 39) were added to the treatment group. The change of velocity of blood blow of the cerebral central artery was observed by transfrontal Doppler ultrasound detecting method before and after treatment to evaluate the cerebral basomotoricity of the patients. Results: The cerebral vasomotoricity in the treatment group was greatly improved compared with pre-treatment (P＜0.05) and there was a significant difference compared with the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) and Xuanzhong (GB 39) could obviously improve the cerebral vosomotoricity of the patients with cerebral ischemic stroke, which might be one of the action mechanisms of acupuncture treatment for cerebral ischemic stroke.
