Abstract
Patients of post-stroke hemiplegia were divided into acupuncture and rehabilitation training group (n=50), acupuncture group (n=32), and rehabilitation training group (n=31), and treated with acupuncture and/or rehabilitation training. The patients’ moving ability and capability of daily life were estimated before and after treatment. The total effective rate in the acupuncture and rehabilitation training group was higher than those in the acupuncture group and the rehabilitation training group (P<0.01), and there was no difference between the acupuncture group and the rehabilitation group (P>0.05). The method of acupuncture combining rehabilitation training is an effective therapy for treating post-stroke hemiplegia.
