Tongyuan Acupuncture on Consciousness Disorder After Stroke

Summary

Stroke is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the world. Patients with stroke often have sequelae and functional disorders of varying degrees, among which the disturbance of consciousness has the greatest impact on prognosis and quality of life.At present, drug therapy, neurosurgical interventional therapy and modern physical therapy are mainly used for post-stroke consciousness disorders. The above therapies to improve the state of consciousness of patients are not supported by sufficient evidence-based evidence, and the other is that they have shortcomings, such as invasive, expensive, and strict indications. Acupuncture has been used in the treatment of sequelae of stroke for thousands of years in China. Tongyuan acupuncture is a set of traditional Chinese medicine therapy pioneered by Professor Lai Xinsheng, a famous doctor of Chinese medicine. A large number of previous studies have proved that Tongyuan acupuncture has a unique effect on the cardiovascular system, gynecology, ent, neurology and other functional disorders. In this study, Tongyuan acupuncture was used in patients with post-stroke consciousness disorder to observe its efficacy and explore the mechanism of action. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Tongyuan acupuncture can improve the consciousness disorder after stroke, and to provide a new safe, effective, feasible and easy to popularize treatment method.
