Acupuncture effectively treats hemiplegic spasticity in apoplexy (HSA) by stimulating specific acupoints. This method provides immediate and lasting relief for patients suffering from post-stroke muscle stiffness.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine

Background:

  • Hemiplegic spasticity in apoplexy (HSA) presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • Effective management strategies for HSA are crucial for patient recovery and quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize effective acupuncture techniques for remitting hemiplegic spasticity in apoplexy.
  • To document the therapeutic outcomes of these acupuncture methods.

Main Methods:

  • Deeply puncturing acupoints on the superior-spasm side (SSS) with filiform needles to achieve intensive needling sensations in deep tissues (ISDT).
  • Tapping the skin on the inferior-spasm side (ISS) with skin needles to induce corresponding muscle contraction.

Main Results:

  • The described acupuncture methods demonstrated significant immediate therapeutic effects in remitting HSA.
  • Long-term therapeutic effects were also observed, indicating sustained improvement in spasticity.

Conclusions:

  • Acupuncture offers a viable and effective treatment for hemiplegic spasticity in apoplexy.
  • The combination of deep needling and skin tapping techniques shows promise for managing HSA.
