Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Si-hour"Supplementing Yang and Unblocking Collaterals"Electroacupuncture Therapy based on the midnight-midday ebb-flow theory in treating hemiplegia caused by ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 160 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke hemiplegia who were treated in the wards and outpatient departments of Huaian Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2023 and June 2024 were selected as study subjects.Patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table,with 80 cases in each group.Both groups received conventional internal medicine rehabilitation treatment.The control group received conventional acupuncture therapy,while the observation group received Si-hour"Supplementing Yang and Unblocking Collaterals"Electroacupuncture Therapy based on the midnight-midday ebb-flow theory.Treatment was administered for 2 weeks per course,with a total of 3 courses.After completion of treatment,clinical efficacy was evaluated by observing changes in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA)scores,modified Barthel Index(MBI)scores,fractional anisotropy(FA)values in the cerebral peduncle and posterior limb of internal capsule regions,modified Edinburgh-Scandinavian Stroke Scale(MESSS)scores,as well as plasma viscosity,hematocrit(HCT),and fibrinogen(FIB)levels before and after treatment in both groups.Results(1)The total effective rate was 86.25%(69/80)in the observation group and 70.00%(56/80)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,TCM syndrome scores were significantly improved in both groups(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly greater than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,FMA and MBI scores were significantly improved in both groups(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly greater than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,FA values in the cerebral peduncle and posterior limb of internal capsule regions,as well as MESSS scores,were significantly improved in both groups(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly greater than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,plasma viscosity,HCT,and FIB levels were significantly improved in both groups(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly greater than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Si-hour"Supplementing Yang and Unblocking Collaterals"Electroacupuncture Therapy based on the midnight-midday ebb-flow theory significantly improves limb motor function,enhances neural conduction,and optimizes hemorheological parameters in patients with hemiplegia caused by ischemic stroke,demonstrating notable clinical efficacy.
