Based on the underlying mechanism of acupuncture therapy for intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH),we discussed the research on the pathological mechanism of ICH and the effect of acupuncture therapy in recent 20 years,from primary and secondary brain injury.It was concluded that acupuncture had an intervention effect on multiple links such as hematoma compression,brain edema,oxidative stress,nerve cell death and cerebral blood flow changes.However,there were still problems such as less in vivo research,lack of thinking on syndrome differentiation and insufficient research on the quantity effect and overall regulation of acupuncture.
