The purpose of this study is to determine whether acupuncture and computer-based attention training can be combined for more effective post-stroke attentional deficits.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

RehaCom

The computer-based neurorehabilitation program is intended for patients with acquired cognitive deficits after brain damage, e.g. after stroke. The RehaCom software has five different therapeutic groups aimed at restoration of attention, memory, executive functions, and visual field, respectively. Each group has one to four different modules to choose from for each therapy session. Only attention will be trained in this study.

DEVICE

Acupuncture

The affected meridian group is treated by needling on Baihui (GV20\|DU20) and Shenting (GV24\|DU24) - both acupoints of the Governor Vessel. Baihui is 5 cun (1cun=3.33 cm) superior to the anterior hairline on the anterior median line (midpoint of the connecting line between the auricular apices).
