Stroke is described as poor blood flow to the brain resulting in cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding. They occur due to brain malfunctioning. Signs and symptoms of a stroke include inability to move or feel one side of the body, problems understanding or speaking, feeling the world is spinning, or problems with vision. High blood pressure is known to be the main risk factor for stroke. However, other risk factors include smoking, obesity, high blood cholesterol and diabetes.¹

RESEARCH

Acupuncture treatment has shown to be effective for stroke and includes stimulating PC-6. Lifting and twisting is applied including manual stimulation for several minutes. GV-26 is stimulated as well as SP-6 until the lower limbs twitched few times. HT-1 and LU-5 are stimulated until movement of the upper limbs is detected. BL-40 is to be needled next. Manual acupuncture is applied until there is any lower limb movement. The mentioned acupuncture treatment should be applied every other day. On alternating days, Bo’s abdominal acupuncture is to be applied.² Supplementary points are added for specific conditions on days when acupuncture is performed. Now, for the condition called pseudobulbar palsy which is the inability to control facial movements GB-20 is added. GB-20 is stimulated for dysphagia which is difficulty swallowing. Whereas, ST-6 is stimulated for deviation of the mouth. For the drooping of the eyelids known as blepharoptosis, GB-14 is added. For discomfort or a dragging sensation in the upper limbs, LI-11 should be stimulated. For spasticity of the fingers with an inability to stretch, LI-4 and SI-3 are to be stimulated.³ The above mentioned treatment is effective for patients that have suffered a stroke. by means of activating the brain and regaining consciousness; since this treatment aims to improve blood microcirculation, lipid balance and cardiac function.
