A stroke is the result of a sudden brain circulation disorder. As a result, the nerve cells in the brain do not get enough oxygen and nutrients, leading to cell death.
Secondary diseases of stroke include quadriplegia (hemiplegia) and facial numbness (facial paralysis), language barriers and other disabilities. Acupuncture can relieve the sequelae symptoms and restore their physiological functions, so as to significantly improve the quality of life.
According to scientific research, acupuncture can do the following:
Improve the blood flow to the head, increase the supply of blood oxygen and blood sugar, and reduce the damage to the brain tissue.
Improve the electrical activity of the cranial nerves and the inhibition of the brain, so as to promote the recovery of brain function.
Improve microcirculation, which can help restore the function of disabled limbs.
Acupuncture can tighten muscles, so as to increase muscle strength.
Improve the secretion of neurotransmitter and the activity of the enzyme system, promote metabolism, so as to enhance the body’s tissues and capabilities.
The results of CT examination showed that the absorption of blood clots in the brain could be promoted by acupuncture.
The electroacupuncture is used to connect to the head. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), there are effective points corresponding to each body function on the head. Paralysis, numbness and language barriers can be improved by stimulating acupuncture points with acupuncture.
