The "brain electric field" therapy is a novel electroacupuncture method created by Professor GAO Weibin to treat cerebral infarction in the recovery period. This therapy is suitable for the treatment of motor disorders, sensory disorders, cognitive disorders, hemianopsia and bulbar paralysis during the recovery period of cerebral infarction. Based on the different symptoms, the corresponding brain functional areas are selected, supplemented with Taiyang 2, Tunyan 2, Tiyan, Gongxue and Xiatianzhu. These points are attached to electric acupuncture apparatus, and stimulated with dense wave, at frequency of 50 Hz and tolerable intensity. This therapy presents a remarkable effect on cerebral infarction in the recovery period, providing the new approach to the treatment of this disease.
