Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of electroacupuncture therapy for limb dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients residing at high-altitude regions. This study aims to address the following research questions: 1. Whether electroacupuncture therapy demonstrates clinical effectiveness in managing limb dysfunction among ischemic stroke patients in high-altitude regions. 2. Whether electroacupuncture therapy maintains an acceptable safety profile in this specific population.

Researchers will conduct a comparative analysis between the active electroacupuncture intervention group and a sham-electroacupuncture control group to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. Participants will: 1. Undergo daily electroacupuncture treatment sessions for a standardized 14-day therapeutic course. 2. Complete comprehensive functional assessments and neurological evaluations at baseline and post-intervention timepoints.

Conditions

  • Limb Dysfunction in Ischemic Stroke Patients at High-Altitude Regions

Interventions

DEVICE

Electroacupuncture Therapy

Participants in the experimental group will receive daily electroacupuncture therapy over a standardized 14-day therapeutic course. Comprehensive functional and neurological assessments will be conducted at pre-intervention (baseline) and post-intervention timepoints. Acupoint selection will target anatomical domains spanning the cranial, upper limb, and lower limb regions.

DEVICE

Sham electroacupuncture intervention

Participants in the control group will receive daily sham electroacupuncture therapy over a standardized 14-day therapeutic course. Comprehensive functional and neurological assessments will be conducted at pre-intervention (baseline) and post-intervention timepoints. Sham electroacupuncture procedures will target non-acupoint locations outside recognized cranial, upper limb, and lower limb anatomical domains.
